  1. Emission Controls

  2. The Driving Force • Tighter limits on emissions are the main driving force of emission controls • The government is making them do it • The government had no limits on vehicle pollution until the Clean Air Act took effect in the late 1960’s

  3. Air is made up of : • 21%O2 • 78%N • 1% other gasses (mostly argon)

  4. Fuel is primarily made up of : • Hydrocarbons (HC)

  5. Perfect combustion • HC, O2, N2 in • Heat, H2O, CO2 and N2 out

  6. Imperfect combustion • Adds HC, CO, NOx and O2 to exhaust

  7. Smog, what is it? • Ground level ozone - O3 • Three ingredients; HC, NOx and sunlight • CO is a pollutant all by itself

  8. State emissions testing • Attainment areas vs. non-attainment areas • Ozone and/or CO • Centralized vs. non-centralized testing

  9. Remote sensing devices • Similar to photo radar • Used in California / Colorado

  10. THE END
