REDUCING POLLUTION
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-
serve: "Could 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?"
