Car safety is probably one of the most important things about cars the amount of work that goes into preparing a car with the safety features needed to save a person from fatal injuries is terrific, there is still always a danger because road traffic injuries still represent the leading cause in worldwide injury-related death which kill 1.2 million people per year and injure about 40 times this number.
Cars can also be a problem to the environment because of the gases and fumes that they release, According to the American Surface Transportation Policy Project nearly half of all Americans are breathing unhealthy air. Their study showed air quality in dozens of metropolitan areas has worsened over the last decade. In the United States the average passenger car emits 11,450 pounds (5,190 kg) of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide annually, along with smaller amounts of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen.
Animals and plants are often negatively impacted by automobiles via habitat destruction and pollution. Over the lifetime of the average automobile the "loss of habitat potential" may be over 50,000 square meters (540,000 sq ft) based on primary production correlations. Animals are also killed every year on roads by automobiles, referred to as Roadkill.
