Smog device deemed ineffective with lead concerns
Supervisor Kenneth Hahn cited estimates that forced NOX smog controls on 1966 to 1970 cars in the six county South Coast basin would emit 246000 more pounds of lead in year one. He said fitting devices on about 1.8 million autos would raise fuel use by five percent, producing more lead since these cars cannot burn unleaded fuel. He discussed the issue with Assemblyman John Collier, a repeal supporter, and noted Collier’s doctor mentioned “a little lead in his lungs.” Hahn filed that NOX devices likely do not improve smog and expressed hope repeal bills pass committee.
