Because of the constant rising of petroleum fuel, drivers in our country opted to convert their pertoleum cars and vehicles to LPG running engines. How much damage can it make to the environment and specially to the health of the people.

Ozone layer : no effect
Global warming: No real difference, for a given power output it is just as bad as gasoline. Just "sounds" cleaner and greener.

As long as there is adequate oxygen, LPG will oxidize completely forming carbon dioxide and water vapor. the equation is:
C3H8 + 5 O2 → 3 CO2 + 4 H2O
Any incomplete oxidation will result in carbon monoxide.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas, of course. However, it does not affect the ozone layer. To humans, it is relatively benign.
CO, on the other hand, is toxic and contributes to greenhouse warming. It can also elevate tropospheric (i.e. close to the ground) ozone resulting in smog. Again, not to good.
Hopefully, these cars are tested for emissions so that CO is minimized.

The LPG is nothing but a member of the saturated hydrocarbon.
It mostly contain Butane (C4H10), the fourth member of the series.
Others are Methane (CH4), first member also called as Natural gas/marsh gas and used as CNG. Now CNG is used largely for preventing pollution by buses and auto rickshaws. So this is less polluting. Similarly LPG will contribute less pollution if it will burn completely, thereby producing Carbon dioxide and water which cannot be called as pollutant.
C4H10 (gas) + 13/2 O2 (gas) --> 4CO2 (gas) + 5H2O (l)
But if incomplete combustion takes place it produces carbon monoxide whic is pollutant and toxic.
C4H10 (gas) + 9/2 O2 (gas) --> 4CO (gas) + 5H2O (l)
These are better than liquid fuels like petrol and diesel, which are generally mixture of higher hydrocarbons and produces both CO2 and CO along with some other gases.

climate and worldwide warming is inter-on the subject of one yet another. As whilst the worldwide warming will enhance it additionally impacts the climate. exchange in the climate is purely because of the worldwide warming. worldwide warming is actual led to by skill of the chlorofluorocarbon coming from our enjoyed ones works and specifically from the the refrigerators. because of the worldwide warming the black hollow will enhance and the ozone layer decreases. If the ozone layer decreases straight away then it may reason diverse inflammation in our well-being and the encircling. Then the risky radiations of the sunlight reaches to the earth and reason many pollutions and supply upward push to many new ailments and dermis maximum cancers. the production of the co2 gases is extremely risky. it additionally finally ends up in the depletion of the ozone layer because it incredibly is between the greenhouse gases. wish this answer will help u to jot down ur essay. U may additionally complex those factors.

i dont think it will affect the ozone layer..
When LPG burns it produces water vapour, some HCFC's(harmless) and heat.
the ozone is affected by carbon dioxide so LPG burning is very safe for the enviroinment.

this it harms the ozone bcoz after it is burt it does not burn fully and it converts to carbon monoxide instead of carbon dioxide which is really harmful
