Abstract
The state of California assumed a pioneering role in efforts to restrict toxic emissions emanating from motor vehicles. This development arises from the fact that the geography of large cities like Los Angeles prevents wind from dispersing exhaust gases, causing a blanket of fog that smothers the city. The resulting smog not only has damaging impacts on the health of city dwellers, but also impairs visibility severely.
