Hilt you'll be flunking in a more impor- tant 'area, helping protect the nation's environment, The three chemical desig- nations are the elements of the harmful emissions that are byproducts of fuels that power automobile engines, They are part of the air pollution problem. HO (or hydrocarbons) Is a scientific designation for fuel, The amount of fuel that is unburned and enters the atmosphere through ex- haust or vaporization is one element that, when exposed to sunlight, creates smog. Invisible Gas Another smog-creating byproduct of combustion is NOx (nitrogen oxide) , CO (carbon monoxide) does not create smog but enters the atmosphere as an odor- Tune4Ips Most Vaal in Coping with Pollution progress in Fight. for Cleaner Air Calls for Regular Car Maintenance National Check Your Vehicle Emissions Month in April was established in the U.S.A. to remind motorists that engines in good condition do not pollute excessively. Many service facili- ties like this one offered clean engine checks to help combat air pollution. Mechanics perform a 15-minute cheek of vital engine components to see whether the car is a polluter or not. less, tasteless and invisible gas, In enclosed areas, such as the interior of a ear, CO can be lethal, If automotive fuel were burned to 100 per cent al- ciency, the byproducts would he 1-120 and CO.2 1120 is water and CO2 is carbon dioxide, both harmless to the atmosphere FOrtunately, all' signs point to the near-future time when the automobile will no longer be a signifi- cant part of the air pollution problem, One indication of this trend is that today, more than 8l per cent of automobile-caused pollu- tion comes from cars built before 1968, Later-model cars, incor- porating anti-pollution de-, vices, have become a .minor part of the problem, In fact ears built today create only 10% of the pollutants as did cars man- ufactured in the early 1960's. Lis the older cars are scrapped, the pollution pic- ture in this country Is brightening significantly. And as devices such as after-burners or catalytic converters are introduced in a few years, ears will be Virtually pollution-free, ac- cording to the car mann- . facturers, Maintenance Needed Despite all the efforts and money invested by the car makers, the fight against air' pollution will not be to- tally successful unless the car owner adheres to a schedule of maintenance. The service most vitally affecting emissions is tune-, up, According to tests con- ducted by the University of Michigan and the State of New Jersey, a tuned engine produces about 50 per cent fewer pollutants than the same engine in need of tune-up (at idle). Currently, 28 per cent of 'U.S. families own two or more cars and the routine maintenance of these auto- mobiles is being looked after increasingly by the woman of the house. The American Petroleum Institute suggests that the same care be given to selecting the right service 1 dealer as is given to choos- ing the family doctor, den- tist, or attorney, How do you find the right service outlet where you are confident your car is in competent hands? API has these suggestions: • Ask your friends, to find out which place they patronize. • Shop around before you have to call for serious help. Drive in sometime when the outlet is not too busy. Have something definite in mind to have done to your car, sometlling„that can be done while Y,,Kwait.

If the place iS'a busy one, you may have to make an appointment, but a busy facility is usually an efficient • one. • See If the attendant uses test equipment, Since auto- mobiles run on a series of OM 01.0iolia ,at , lige: arca, serviceman knows what has to be done, and he knows how much he • must charge to cover his cost of doing it right. • Finally, don't go in with the' notion that a man who wants to check this, that, and the other, without being asked, is a sharpie salesman. Checking and servicing your car is his business, and • a part of this service is to call to your attention prOblems you may not have noticed— a bald tire, a leaking radia- tor hose, a loose fan belt — any of which, if 'neglected, can cause trouble, even dan- ger for you, CLINTON.
