Oil man leads clean air push with exhaust filter idea
In Canberra a test compared a lead emitting car driven by the Clean Air Society president with a Caltex representative’s car. An exhaust filter, developed by PIECE and backed by industry figures, cut lead from 164.3 mg/km to 2.65 mg/km at modest extra cost, with broader deployment possible on new cars. The filter, made from stainless wool with alumina and a phosphate compound, could be manufactured in Australia and recycled at wrecking.
