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?"
