Hydrocarbon (HC) exhaust emissions are a product of incomplete combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel such as gasoline, diesel, natural gas, and propane. Hydrocarbon emissions can also occur from evaporation of liquid hydrocarbons. HC emissions contribute to the formation of ground level ozone which can cause serious damage to human health and vegetation. See also Causes of Excess Hydrocarbons.
