AUTOMOBILE EXHAUST EMISSION SURVEILLANCE - ANALYSIS OF THE FY 1975 PROGRAM

Through the Office of Air and Waste Management, EPA contracts with several independent laboratories to perform dynamometer emission testing of in-use light duty vehicles. The Emission Factors Testing Program is a continuing project administered by the Emissions Control Techology Division, a part of the Mobile Source Air Pollution Control (MSAPC) program located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This report summarizes the data from the fifth year (FY 75) in the series and updates the sample to include 1976 model year vehicles as well as provides continued monitoring of previous model years. State and local agencies, Federal air pollution officials, automobile manufacturers, and concerned citizens can use this summary to estimate the impact of light duty vehicle emissions on air quality and to determine conformity of vehicles to the standards under which they were certified.
