  1. This is absolutely true. Floating or un-ignited hydrocarbons drifting up in the atmosphere is much more polluting then burning them (and wasting them). My chemistry is a bit foggy, but it has something to do with sunlight reacting with the hydrocarbon molecule. Generally, when these are ignited in an engine with oxygen, the main bi-products are carbon dioxide and water vapor.
