Air Quality Monitoring
Car labelling 'could improve air quality'
Aug 31 2010
Yesterday (August 30th 2010), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation announced their plans to inform customers of the mileage and emissions of gases from each new vehicle through a labelling procedure, Reuters reported.
Speaking to the news agency, EPA administrator Lisa Jackson said that this would educate the market of their environmental choices to reduce the amount of emissions their vehicles release into the atmosphere and improve air quality.
A uniform grading system will be imposed on each car, with A+ being awarded to the most energy efficient vehicles and D being given to the ones that emit more gases.
DrivenData recently published a study which revealed that the average carbon dioxide emission released by a new car dropped by 5.6 per cent between 2009 and 2010, indicating that the market is becoming more concerned about the environmental impact on air quality from car fumes.
