California 'driving force' in cleaning up the air
|
"Experts say most pollution-cutting efforts are directed
at the combustion engine since automobiles produce half
of the nation's hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions
- the primary causes of urban ozone, or smog - and about
90% of the carbon monoxide."

Tough low-emission standards unveiled for new cars
|
"By 2001, manufacturers must sell a mix of vehicles
that produces 70 per cent less smog than vehicles sold
today."
"...the tougher standards (will) prevent about 2000 deaths
and 27,000 hospital admissions from fine particulate air
pollution over the next 25 years."
"If you can't breathe, nothing else matters..."

Fuel rules could cost billions
|
Proposed new national standard for cleaner-burning
gas and diesel would hit refineries.
"The standard would require low-sulphur diesel fuel
and the reformulation of gasoline to reduce polluting
gas and particulates that foul the air and make people
and plants sick."
