Using fans in highways to pull auto emissions underground

Post by kathy90046 »

If we put Fans on highway lanes to suck down emissions from cars would it work? The thought is to have plants below that can use the exhaust to grow. I know there are other elements in emissions, like nitrogen, but I read that nitrogen is good for crops, so maybe that's even better. Is this a viable way to cut down on emissions?

Hello Kathy,
The Ask the Expert forums are specifically for students in grades K-12 who are working on science projects.

If you are a student doing a science projects, you should post your questions in the forum which matches your grade level and the general topic. On the other hand, if you are not a student, you should look on the internet for other forums to post your questions.

Thank you,
Madeline
