Answer

Both Mechanics A and B are correct.<br /><br />Hydrocarbons are indeed unburnt fuel molecules (made of hydrogen and carbon) that exit the engine through the exhaust. Particulates (also known as particulate matter or PM) are also a pollutant. They are tiny particles of soot and other substances that are also released in exhaust gases.<br />
