California motor vehicle emission standards

Journal Article · · SAE Prog. Technol.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6696434
The legal and technical bases of the California standards are reviewed, and the air pollution laws of California are summarized. The evolution of air quality standards is described. The translation of air quality standards into motor vehicle emission standards is described along with a statement of the underlying assumptions concerning the relationship of the photochemical smog effects to the atmospheric concentrations of primary pollutants emitted to the atmosphere from motor vehicles and other sources. Driving cycles, analytical methods, evaluation of device warmup characteristics, and related problems are also discussed.
