F1..for good and for bad..

F1 car for Malaysia team is one of good idea..indirectly we are going to improve our economic condition and make it much more better for the tourism.The reason i 'm taking this article is because i want to share about our environment..its good that after a decades..we finally improve our field in automotive ..but in other side..it also bring a bad impact to environment.There were two great impacts that comes out form this F1 racing event:

1.noise pollution

2.air pollution

Noise pollution that comes from the F1 racing car can lead a few impacts that maybe we are not realized ..such as..

1.detrimental effect on the growth of some plants

2.exposure to moderately high levels of noise for an eight hour can increase blood pressure and cause other cardiac issues

3.exposure excessively loud noise over long periods can also lead to partial deafness.

4.noise also can cause violence - many assults and murders can be attributed to a noise issue that spiralled out of control

5.in dairy cows excessive noise reduce feed comsumption , milk yield ,and rate of release

Air pollution also gives a few great impacts..such as

1.emission of carbon monoxide restricts the oxygen uptake by human which can cause drowsiness, headaches, and death
2.Nitrogen dioxide is harmful to vegetation, can fade and discolour fabrics, reduce visibility, and react with surfaces and furnishings. Vegetation exposure to high levels of nitrogen dioxide can be identified by damage to foliage, decreased growth or reduced crop yield.
3.elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide cause damage to the mechanisms that protect the human respiratory tract and can increase a person's susceptibility to, and the severity of, respiratory infections and asthma. Long-term exposure to high levels of nitrogen dioxide can cause chronic lung disease. It may also affect sensory perception, for example, by reducing a person's ability to smell an odour.

Above are a few reason why F1 racing is not a very good idea but somehow everything will have a solution..This event can be replace with a biofuel to run the cars ..eventhough it cost a lot but it save the environment and this is what we are looking for..:).. Biofuels are much less harmful when it comes to emissions into the air, because traditional fossil based fuels like gasoline and regular diesel have high sulfur and carbon emissions, as well as other greenhouse gases. Biofuels burn much cleaner, with few to none of these global warming causing emissions, and this is much better for the earth and environment. These fuels do not reduce any of the energy or power that is needed by the race cars to reach first place though. This makes biofuels a safe and friendly alternative that does not affect performance or efficiency.

Biofuels are made from biomass, which is cellulose material. This includes plant and animal matter. Ethanol is an alcohol based fuel, while biodiesel works by using oils and fats. Green car races are the wave of the future, and racing teams are getting in early. All it took was for the first biofuel race cars to finish in good positions, and show that these fuels are competitive and do not change the speed or performance of the car and engine. Once this happened them more racing teams started switching to fuel blends that include biofuels in the mix. Biofuel car racing proves what Europe has shown for years, that biofuels are a safe and eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels, and biofuels will eliminate most of the damaging emissions and environmental damage that can be caused by auto races.
