Report Recommends 75-85% Cut in Two-wheeled Vehicle Hydrocarbon Emissions Date : 20030510 The Central Environment Council, an advisory body to the Ministry of Environment, submitted its sixth report on measures for reducing vehicle pollutant emissions. This report proposes stricter emission reduction regulations, especially for two-wheeled vehicles. The stronger regulations would call for reductions in pollutant emissions greater than those called for in present regulations by 75 to 85 percent for hydrocarbons (HC), 50 percent for nitrogen oxide (Nox), and 85 percent for carbon monoxide (CO), to be achieved in 2006-2007. These targeted values are the most stringent in the world. In spite of existing vehicle pollutant reduction measures, Japan still suffers from severe air pollution caused by substances such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and suspended particulate matter (SPM). To counter this situation, the stricter restrictions would be enforced for two-wheeled vehicles, which account for 20 percent of all vehicle-related HC emissions. Reducing HC levels also reduces levels of toxic air pollutants such as NO2, SPM and photochemical oxidants. ------------------------ Yahoo!
