A new smog-eating
automotive
technology has been
developed by
Englehard Corporation
of the US.
The new automobile
coating, designed to destroy ozone
and carbon
monoxide is now being
evaluated by
the California Air
Resources Board
(CARB).
If the CARB finds the
coating effective, "it could
be one of the
black box
technologies to be
included in California's
air quality implementation plans,"
says Jerry Martin,
a staff member of
CARB. If the technology manages to
destroy 80 per
cent of the ozone, as
claimed by its
manufacturers, it may
significantly
affect the ambient
air quality (Environmental
Science and Technology, Vol 29, No 12).
