Carbon dioxide

When complete combustion of air and fuel occurs, carbon dioxide and water are produced.
Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide is produced, with water, when complete combustion of air and fuel occurs.

It isn’t poisonous, but many scientists consider it a serious contributor to global warming.

Catalytic converters in gasoline-engined vehicles convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide is also produced by diesel and LPG-fuelled vehicles.
