Teach-In Reveals How Pollution is Reduced
t.
A drastic reduction in mo-
tor vehicle emissions — by as
much as 55 per cent on the
average — may be achieved,
if only car owners tune up
their vehicles for low emis-
sions.
That is one of the major
findings reported by a group
of University of Michigan en-
gineering students who con-
ducted an emission tune-up
clinic during the Environ-
mental Teach-In here last
spring.
More than 85 per cent of
the cars. the students said,
showed a decrease in hydro-
carbon emissions following a
tune-up (spark plugs, points,
ignition timing and carbure-
tor adjustments) . The car-
bon monoxide and unburned
hydrocarbon emissions were
reduced by an average of 55
percent at idle, the U-M stu-
dents reported. A car, at idle,
releases the greatest concen-
tration of emissions.
"Some cars came in with
seven to ten per cent carbon
monoxide in the exhaust and
left with a fraction of a per
cent, Some had unburned
hydrocarbon concentrations
of 3,000 parts per million
which were reduced. to sev-
eral hundred parts," the stu-
dents said.
-The data indicate that
pre-1968 cars have much
higher average hydrocarbon
emissions than post-1968
cars showing the same mile-
age."
These and other data have
led the U-M students to ob-

igan Engineering students

less air pollution after tun-
ing cars.
serve: "Cduld it be possible
that some of the same peo-
ple who have been blaming
the engineer for an ecologi-
cal imbalance have allowed
their automobiles to degen-
erate by neglect — and have
allowed excessive quantities
of pollutants to be released
into the atmosphere?"
One thing is certain, the
students said: "It should be
emphasized that it is the
owner's responsibility to
maintain an automobile, hot
only for his own interests,
but also for the well-being of
the community,"
STOP ME IF YOU'VE
HEARD THIS . . .
Stopping a car on dry
pavement at 20 miles per
hour requires' 17 feet of dis-
tance. At the same speed on
glare ice, the distance re-
quired is 149 feet with regu-
lar tires and 120 feet with
studded snow tires. Slow
down on ice.
New Rigors
Shorten
Plug Life
In the old days, the richer
gasoline mixtures served to
cool the combustion cham-
bers and render an easier
explosion, even if large quan-
tities of unburned hydrocar-
bons were dumped into the
air.
The new rigors inside the
combustion chamber also
serve to shorten the life of
a spark plug. As one of the
experts pointed out, one
spark plug firing intermit-
tently will double the harm-
ful exhaust emissions of a
standard V-8 engine.
Air filters and idle settings'
on the carburetor also are
critical to economy, per-
