ABSTRACT
In many urban areas, automobile transportation accounts for the majority of smog-forming emissions, and air pollution control legislation continues to spur the research and development of lower-emission automobiles. A study was conducted to explore the techniques for the control of exhaust emissions from automobiles. The study concludes by suggesting principles for making zero-emission vehicle policy by the development of technology for laser technology based vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, battery-powered electric vehicles, and the future effectiveness of policies to control emissions from gasoline vehicles.
INTRODUCTION
Exhaust pollution originates inside an engine’s cylinder, where the mixture of air and gasoline is rapidly bounded. The head from combustion creates a high pressure, pushing the piston to produce the mechanical energy that moves the car
