New Truck-Bus Smog Rules

From Associated Press

In a second significant step toward cutting smog, the state Air Resources Board today adopted rules requiring trucks and buses to be virtually smoke-free by the early 1990s.

The reductions are made possible by new emission-reducing technology, ARB spokesman William L. Sessa said at the board’s meeting in Los Angeles. On Thursday, the board adopted new automobile emissions standards on nitrogen oxides aimed at a 15% statewide reduction in those emissions. (Story, Page 4.)
