Smog Expert Urges Car Maintence to Cut Exhaust Pollution
Dr W L Faith of the Air Pollution Foundation told UC engineering alumni that car exhausts could be cut by up to 33 percent if vehicles are kept in top condition. He noted older cars emit twice as many hydrocarbons as newer ones and estimates overhauls for older cars could cut smog by about a third. He warned some new cars also contribute due to faulty plugs timing and predicted further reductions may come only after a basic redesign in 10 to 15 years.
