    Study: Air Pollution From Burger Joints Worse Than Trucks

    “For comparison, an 18-wheeler diesel engine truck would have to drive 143 miles on the freeway to put out the same mass of particulates as a single charbroiled hamburger patty,”

    that would be an interesting measurement of pollution.... "miles per burger equivalent".



    another big hit that isn't mentioned very often are commercial ships... running on "bunker fuel", those throw out HUGE numbers.

    though i have to say, 14 cylinder, two stroke, turbocharged and making almost 115,000 HP sounds like it would be fun if it were propelling something smaller than a floating metal island.
