Also, the EPA is investigating the possibility of outlawing cars that
spew this poison out into the air as a by-product of gasoline
combustion. But by far the biggest polluters are the coin-operated
laundries, which continually pollute the air with H2O vapour. This
causes a phenomenon known as "wet rain," which has been know to kill
crops when it falls in large quantities.
