La gasolina con plomo y sin plomo

The video discusses the evolution of gasoline from its early crude form to the development of leaded gasoline by Thomas Mittly in 1921, which improved engine performance. However, the widespread use of leaded gasoline raised significant health concerns due to its toxicity. By 1983, studies led to the gradual phase-out of leaded gasoline, resulting in reduced air pollution. The transition to unleaded gasoline and innovations like catalytic converters have further minimized emissions. Ongoing research aims to develop safer technologies for vehicles, balancing performance with environmental and health considerations.
