Abstract
Table 1 lists the passenger car emission control requirements (current as of September, 1982) for all passenger cars sold in the United States except where waivers have been granted by the Environmental Protection Agency for specific vehicles. The law is currently under review (1982) so these requirements may be changed for future years. The 1981 exhaust standards represent a reduction from uncontrolled 1960 levels of 96% for HC, 96% for CO, and 76% for NOx.
