On-road Motor Vehicle Emissions from around the World
In 1993, on-road emissions in Continental Europe showed a pronounced South/North declining gradient for CO, HC and NO fuel specific emissions (gm/kg). Emissions in Hamburg and Rotterdam were comparable to emissions measured in 1993 in the U.S.A. with the same on-road instrument. Contrasts between emissions in the USA, the UK and Sweden demonstrated the importance both of modern catalysts and of...

We suggest, however, that the record shows a failure, not an achievement. The document claims that systematic motor vehicle safety eVorts, which began in the United States in the 1960s, were responsi...
