§ 43610 Nitrogen Oxide Emission Standards

Key Takeaways

  • •The state makes rules for special car parts (exhaust devices) to cut down on harmful gases from old cars (1966-1970 models).
  • •These rules focus on reducing one bad gas called 'oxides of nitrogen' as much as possible.
  • •The state only makes these rules if they think it’s doable with the tech we have.

Example

You own a 1968 Mustang and want to make sure it’s not polluting too much.

The state says your car must have a special exhaust part that cuts down on bad gases. If you don’t have it, you might have to fix your car to follow the rules.

§ 43610 Nitrogen Oxide Emission Standards

The state board shall set standards for, and certify, exhaust devices to significantly reduce the emission of oxides of nitrogen from 1966 through 1970 model year motor vehicles, as determined by the state board from a representative sampling of such motor vehicles, which the state board has found to be necessary and technologically feasible to carry out the purposes of this division. In setting standards under this section, the primary consideration shall be the greatest possible reduction of oxides of nitrogen. (Added by Stats. 1975, Ch. 957.)
