  • Page 60: Emission Control Systems

    EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS SOURCE OF EMISSIONS Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide (NOx), and hydrocarbons. It is very important to control the emissions of NOx and hydrocarbons as they are a major contributor to air pollution. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas. The emission of fuel vapors is a source of pollution as well.
