Bush EPA benzene limits aim to cut car fumes
The Bush administration adopted new EPA rules to curb benzene and toxin emissions from vehicles. Effective 2009 to 2011, the rules push cleaner gasoline, cold start engines, and tighter fuel container standards while introducing emissions trading to meet regional limits. The plan follows a court order to lower benzene to 2 percent by 2011 and aims to reduce overall emissions by up to 80 percent over the next two decades.
