Default why is the 2 stroke pollution so bad

I am to dumb to read the chart. I see the numbers and so forth but I don't know what they represent. I would think that it would be a greater impact on the world to clean up other forms of pollution.

If you look at pollution sources overall, then yes, MC and ATV are very little of the total but it depends on what types of pollutant or toxics you are looking. No matter what we are breathing too much bad stuff from everything. Here's a sample of what California measures, reports, and regulates. Pretty scary.!

Carbon Disulfide Ethylene Dichloride meta-Xylene
Carbon Tetrachloride Formaldehyde meta/para-Xylene
Chlorobenzene Methyl Bromide ortho-Xylene
Chloroform Methyl Chloroform para-Xylene
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Mabe the breast cancer was a result of trauma caused by bouncing around on rough trails.
