			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft" src="http://pollution.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumb1.jpg" alt="How An Evaporative Emissions Control System Works" width="200" height="148" title="How An Evaporative Emissions Control System Works" />The evaporative emissions control system is part of the emissions control system that works to prevent harmful hydrocarbons and hazardous gases to be released from the operation of your vehicle. The evaporative emissions control system is not just in use when your vehicle is running, it also works when your vehicle is turned off. </p>
<p>Gas is a very easily evaporated substance and tends to turn from a liquid into a vapor at lower temperatures that many other substances. Until vehicles were equipped with the evaporative emissions control system component, there was a significant amount of liquid gas in the fuel tank that simply turned into vapor and was vented or released into the air. It was estimated that before 1970 when evaporative emissions control system programs were put in place, about twenty percent of all hydrocarbons released into the air were from gasoline evaporation from vehicle gas tanks. </p>
<p>The evaporative emissions control system turns what used to be an open system into a closed system, trapping the vapor in a canister. Both the gas tank as well as the carburetor vent into the canister that is filled with charcoal. When the vapor from the gasoline moves through the canister it sticks to the charcoal, which is a type of filter. The tiny vapor particles are held into the charcoal but when the vehicle is started again the suction produced by the engine will pull the vapors back into the engine. This vapor is then burned in the engine as part of the combustion of the motor, resulting in a cleaner burning engine. </p>
<p>In order for the evaporative emissions control system to work correctly, the system must be completely sealed. This includes a sealing gas cap to the outside of the vehicle. If the seal is damaged in some way, the system does not work properly and will trigger the &#8220;check engine&#8221; light to come on. Once this happens, taking the vehicle to a technician who can then check the on-board diagnostic system will confirm that there is a gas cap seal problem. Simply replacing the gas cap typically fixes the problem and ensures that the evaporative emissions control system is working correctly. Another common problem is a sticky valve to the canister, which will result in an improper air fuel ratio and poor vehicle performance. The valve can also stick open, result in incorrect fuel mixtures as well. Finally the filter to the charcoal canister can also become plugged. This is typically seen as a decrease in power and acceleration when the vehicle is being driven. Even if the engine light does not come on, this filter and the valve should be checked during all tune-ups. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft" src="http://pollution.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumb1.jpg" alt="Understanding The Evap Emissions Control System: Kia Sportage" width="200" height="148" title="Understanding The Evap Emissions Control System: Kia Sportage" />Just like any type of evap emissions control system, then Kia Sportage evaporative emissions control system works to prevent gasoline vapors from being released or vented into the air. This can happen when a vehicle is parked in a hot area and the low vaporization point of the fuel is reached just by having the vehicle in the sun. The evap emissions control system, Kia Sportage sports utility vehicle or any other type of vehicle, works as a closed system, trapping the vapors in a canister and allowing them to be burned in the combustion chamber of the engine once the vehicle is started. The evap emissions control system, Kia Sportage and other Kia models, can have several different issues that cause the in dash &#8220;check engine&#8221; light to appear so owners need to be aware of what issues can potentially cause the problem. </p>
<p>Since the in-dash light system, controlled by the on-board diagnostic computer or OBD ll system, can be triggered by the evap emissions control system, Kia Sportage drivers need to be aware of the issues that can cause the light to come one. Sometimes the &#8220;check engine&#8221; light can come on for reasons that can be remedied by the owner or driver, while other times the light can be a very serious issue that needs to be corrected immediately by a certified Kia technician to prevent further costly damage to the car&#8217;s engine or exhaust system. The evap emissions control system, Kia Sportage models, is hooked up to a diagnostic computer which downloads the information from the vehicle&#8217;s OBD ll system, allowing the technician to access the information on the emissions control systems and diagnose the malfunction or problem. This is done through a series of codes that the technician&#8217;s computer generates that correspond to malfunctions within the system. </p>
<p>Some of the common evap emissions control system Kia Sportage codes and common problems include:</p>
<p>PO455  Evap emissions control system leak (large)  this is a serious problem that can be both costly to repair as well as can cause the vehicle to stop running or become unable to start. If the engine light comes on with this code it is critical to get the vehicle into a certified Kia technician for repair. </p>
<p>Loose gap cap  when the gas cap is not tightened as per the owner&#8217;s manual, it is possible that the emissions system will generate an error code and a &#8220;check engine&#8221; light will be visible on the dash. This is typically corrected once the gas cap is removed, tightened correctly and the Kia is driven through the required number of drive cycles without another incorrect reading. Typically if this reading is found when you take the vehicle to a technician there is no charge and the engine light is simply reset provided the gas cap is not damaged and the seal around the opening to the gas tank is intact. </p>
<p>PO452  Evap control pres sensor low  this can be caused by a loose gas cap as well but is more likely a problem with a hose that has come loose or a pressure control circuit that is malfunctioning. A Kia technician would need to test the system to find out where the problem is with the pressure in the system. </p>

The Chevy Equinox, a mini van type of vehicle, complies to all state and federal regulations with regards to emissions control systems within the United States and within other countries where the vehicle is sold. The Equinox emissions control diagnostic system is designed to monitor the emissions control system and indicated any malfunctions to the driver through the use of in-dash &#8220;check engine&#8221; lights as well as through the OnStar Diagnostics that are available on most of the current year models of the Chevy Equinox. Most 2004 or newer model years of General Motors vehicles, in particular the Equinox have the optional OnStar system available for owners. </p>
<p>The Equinox emissions control diagnostic through the OnStar system works by checking your Equinox emissions control diagnostic system on a regular basis, then sending an email version of the results plus any recommended maintenance or repair action required. Owners can then determine if they wish to book an appointment to have the issues addressed or, if the tests come back with no action required, the driver is confident that the emissions control system is working correctly. This means that even busy owners that don&#8217;t have time to do the scheduled maintenance will get a monthly reminder of the overall condition of the emissions control system as well as reminders for oil changes, tune ups and even yearly inspections, tire rotation and scheduled tests. Since keeping your vehicle in top repair helps to remove the additional strain or pressure on the Equinox emissions control diagnostic system, all aspects of the OnStar system work to ensure a properly functioning and safe vehicle. </p>
<p>Even for the Chevy Equinox emissions control diagnostic systems that pre-date the OnStar option, in dash lights and on on-board diagnostic computer work to constantly monitor the emission system within the vehicle. When the owner takes the vehicle to the mechanic for a problem, typically rough idling, poor acceleration or poor gas mileage are the complaints, the emissions system always one of the first potential problem areas considered. The Chevy technician can hook the on-board computer up to a diagnostic computer through the use of a data cable, transferring all the information from the Equinox emissions control diagnostic system to the diagnostic computer. This computer then generates a list of codes that indicate problems within the system. The technician or mechanic then can address the issues that have caused the codes to be registered. In some cases the codes may just need to be reset as the system is self-correcting as much as possible. For codes that indicate an equipment malfunction or breakdown, the part will need to be repaired or replaced and the system reset. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft" src="http://pollution.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumb1.jpg" alt="The Benefits Behind Emissions Reduction Incentive Grants" width="200" height="148" title="The Benefits Behind Emissions Reduction Incentive Grants" />There are several different state governments as well as private sector foundations and organizations that are offering emissions reduction incentive grants to various categories of equipment. By far the largest programs in the United States are offered by the state governments with Texas and California having the largest emissions reduction incentive grants programs within their Environmental Protection agencies or divisions. </p>
<p>Each one of the emissions reduction incentive grants is based on an application process, most which can be done online. These grants are open to companies, government agencies, private owners and operators or even those businesses that own vehicles or engines that meet the criteria for the grant. Typically states will determine which counties or areas within the state are eligible for the grant as well as the level of funding of the various grants offered. In Texas, for example, the grants are usually only offered in the counties around the major metropolitan cities, however in California emissions reduction incentive grants may be localized or based state wide. </p>
<p>There are several different types of emissions reduction incentive grants, some which are provided to communities and cities to create environmentally friendly options for commuters and travelers. Often these grants include programs to purchase hybrid or alternative fuel vehicles to use within government agencies, however they can also extend to programs for low-sulfur producing bio-diesel fuels or even mass transit development programs and systems. </p>
<p>In some areas the emissions reduction incentive grants may be applied directly to lowering the number and amount of traffic on the road. This could include using funds to set up car pool programs, assist employers in developing work from home options for employees or even increasing the number of fuel efficient buses being used on public transportation routes. In these cases each city, county or municipality will apply for the emissions reduction incentive grants either through their state government or through federal programs. </p>
<p>Not all of the grants are for vehicles on the road, with both Texas and California offering emissions reduction incentive grants for engines on compressors, heavy equipment, generators and even construction equipment such as forklifts and backhoes. Since these large types of motorized equipment typically operate using diesel fuel, switching to minimum idling time, fully upgrading and maintaining the equipment as well as replacing old, poorly functioning motors with newer, low emissions motors only makes sense. Through the emissions reduction incentive grants owners and operators can either fix or replace old equipment and full funding of the repair may be completely covered by the grant, ensuring that both sides benefit through the application of the incentive grants. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft" src="http://pollution.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumb1.jpg" alt="Individual Ideas For Emissions Reduction" width="200" height="148" title="Individual Ideas For Emissions Reduction" />Emissions reduction is one idea that every individual can help with and by changing just a few small habits or behaviors all people can have a definite, positive impact on the world around them. While sometimes the media tends to focus on &#8220;carbon footprints&#8221; and the amount of emissions by large industries, even as an individual it is possible to work on emissions reduction programs right within your own home or apartment. </p>
<p>There are some very simple ways to focus on emissions reduction when it comes to operating your motor vehicle. Of course the best possible option is to look at a vehicle that uses alternative types of fuels or at the very least gets significant gas mileage. The large, luxury cars and sports utility vehicles are definitely not in this category, however that doesn&#8217;t mean they can&#8217;t still be used, just limit your use of the those types of vehicles. In the real world buying a hybrid or alternative fuel vehicle is just not possible for everyone, but the following emissions reduction strategies are:</p>
<p> Whenever possible don&#8217;t use your vehicle. Consider using a bicycle for short distances or even walking to save on all types of pollution and emissions. For longer distances or if you have to carry things the bus is a great option, plus you don&#8217;t have the additional stress of having to navigate through traffic. </p>
<p> Combining trips and errands and planning your drive can really help with emissions reduction as well as saving on the high price of fuel. Start by looking at what you need to do in the day and grouping activities by location. You may even want to alter your schedule and change your habits by only going to the grocery store once or even switching banks or other services so they are more centralized and require less travel. </p>
<p> Switch or convert to bill payment and even shopping using the computer. The more that you are avoiding simply being in your vehicle the greater emissions reduction benefits you will be providing to the environment. </p>
<p> Always keep your vehicle in good repair. Not only does this prevent breakdowns and mechanical problems, but a well maintained engine is less likely to produce excessive emissions and will more efficiently burn fuel. </p>
<p> Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressure. Saggy or deflated tires provide more friction on the road, requiring more fuel to propel the vehicle. By keeping your tires inflated you can actually save gas, plus lower your emissions. </p>
<p>Besides just reducing driving, other emissions reduction programs that you can do right in your home include participating in recycling programs, buying &#8220;green&#8221; products that are free from chemicals that release toxins as well as carbon dioxide. Finally plant as many trees and plants as you can in your green space or yard. Trees are nature filters of carbon dioxide, plus they will make your yard a wonderful place to spend time. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft" src="http://pollution.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumb1.jpg" alt="Understanding Your Cars Emissions Control System" width="200" height="148" title="Understanding Your Cars Emissions Control System" />Every car is equipped with an emissions control system that works to minimize the hazardous materials produced by your vehicle during operation. The newer your vehicle the more sophisticated the emissions control system is likely to be, with the older vehicles having very limited systems. </p>
<p>There are several components to your vehicles emissions control system, with each part working together to keep your car operating as cleanly as possible. The first part of the emissions control system is the computer that monitors the content of the exhaust produced by the engine. When fuel to air ratios are incorrect the engine is not working at peak efficiency and will produce a lot more hydrocarbons. The emission control system automatically notes this inefficiency and signals the air and fuel intakes to adjust, correcting any problems in the ratio and resulting in a cleaner and more efficient motor. This is all done in real time as the engine is operating, and the driver and passengers are not aware of these constant adjustments and monitoring of the system. </p>
<p>Another part of the emissions control system in your vehicle is the catalytic converter. This is a part of the exhaust system that is located just before the muffler and acts as an additional area where carbon monoxide can be oxidized into water and carbon dioxide. The catalytic converter is designed like a radiator, with a mesh or honeycomb appearance that allows maximum contact of the exhaust with the platinum or palladium in the catalytic converter, resulting in the oxidation as the hydrocarbons touch the metals. During this oxidation process heat is released, resulting in the catalytic converter becoming very hot, sometimes hot enough to almost glow when the exhaust is very dirty and contains high levels of hydrocarbons. When the catalytic converter overheats, this also sends a signal to the car&#8217;s computer through the emission control system, resulting in a signal to the driver by a light on the dash or a computer systems test result in newer models. </p>
<p>The third major components in an emissions control system are the various valves located along the exhaust system and during the actual burning of the fuel through combustion. These valves all have to continue to work at the right time and in the right balance to provide optimum performance for the engine. Drivers of newer model vehicles have the luxury of having these valves monitored by the computer on the vehicle, helping with diagnostic tests when fuel mileage and performance is poor. Some of the new models of vehicles even directly email owners with a performance print out that can be taken to a mechanic or even emailed to your repair shop or dealership to keep on file for your next scheduled tune up. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft" src="http://pollution.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumb1.jpg" alt="How Is An Emissions Control System Evaluated?" width="200" height="148" title="How Is An Emissions Control System Evaluated?" />Emissions control systems have been used in vehicles since the mid 60&#8217;s, actually 1966 was the first year when manufacturers switched to engines with emissions control components. Systems have become more advanced, self-adjusting and computerized, however they still function to help reduce the amount of harmful hydrocarbons that are produced by the individual engine during the combustion of fuel. </p>
<p>There are three different types of emissions measurements used within modern vehicles. Each one provides the car, or more specifically the computer chip in the car, with the information needed to make the adjustments in the fuel to air ratio to provide a cleaner combustion with fewer hydrocarbons. In addition the various types of emissions can be tested during vehicle inspections and are routine in some areas of the United States, Europe, Canada and the United Kingdom. They include the tailpipe emissions, life cycle emissions and evaporative fuel emissions. The emission control system within the vehicle needs to be repaired whenever a vehicle fails to pass the emissions standards within the area it is licensed. </p>
<p>All vehicles sold as new vehicles since 1976 have come with a catalytic converter, which is actually an addition to the exhaust system that provides additional oxidation of the hydrocarbons, reducing the total amount of emissions. The catalytic converter is an essential part of any emissions control system in a vehicle, converting the harmful hydrocarbons to water and carbon dioxide before they even get to the muffler. There are also a series of valves within the vehicle that adjust with the emissions measurements to make the vehicle&#8217;s engine burn cleaner, producing less harmful emissions. </p>
<p>The three different types of emissions are measured in different ways. The tailpipe emission measurement can be used at any time to actually test how the catalytic converter and other emissions control systems in the vehicle are working. It literally tests the exhaust from the tailpipe for unburned fuel and emissions. The lifecycle emissions are calculated over the live of the vehicle and include the emissions in maintaining, manufacturing and disposing of the vehicle. This type of emission measurement is an estimate based on the age of the vehicle.</p>
<p>The evaporative fuel emissions measurement is a test of how well the closed gas tank system within the car handles the evaporation of the gas due to weather changes. If the system is inefficient not only does the vehicle loose gas but it also releasing heavy molecular gases and other hazardous emissions. </p>
<p>By having your vehicle routinely maintained and tested it is possible to both help your gas mileage as well as decrease the amount of dangerous materials released into the environment by your vehicle.  </p>

Managing diesel emissions control programs is a major part of most environmental agencies as often these huge motors produce more than their fair share of the emissions that cause smog, pollution, greenhouse gases and environmental damage. </p>
<p>Diesel emissions control in major centers has become very focused on developing newer, cleaner burning and low-sulfur content diesel fuels. One of the many options is to use bio-diesel, a product that can be made through recycling and refining different types of oils, including old used cooking oil. Restaurants and food production facilities now dump thousands of gallons of this oil a day, so using it as a recyclable and environmentally friendly part of a diesel emissions control program makes sense as well as saves money. </p>
<p>Other major centers have looked at providing grants and incentives for programs that decrease the idling time of diesel motors to provide a voluntary but effective diesel emissions control option. This can include programs that limit the hours of operation of diesel motors, especially those used in construction. Owners and operators are rewarded for efficiently using the diesel engine while it is running, and avoiding additional idling time where exhaust is being produced but the equipment is just sitting. New routes for buses and trains that decrease time spent sitting at stops can also really cut down on emissions with just a bit of a change to passengers and commuters. </p>
<p>Keeping the diesel motor running in top condition and upgrading valves and seals throughout the system can also help in diesel emissions control both on a small and large scale. Some states such as Texas and California offer grant incentive programs for owners and operators of heavy diesel vehicles or motors that want to upgrade their engines to provide more fuel efficiency. These programs are typically voluntary and are done on an application basis. However there are also programs in place where drivers can report vehicles, both diesel and gas burning, which are obviously polluting the environment. Once a vehicle has been reported the owner will need to have the vehicle inspected and brought up to acceptable standards in order to pass an inspection. In some areas where these programs are in place grants and vouchers are available if the vehicle does not pass the inspection and the owner can demonstrate that he or she needs financial assistance to repair the vehicle. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft" src="http://pollution.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumb1.jpg" alt="Continued Improvements In Truck Emissions Control Systems" width="200" height="148" title="Continued Improvements In Truck Emissions Control Systems" />Most drivers are well aware of the relationship between fuel economy and efficiency and the size of the vehicle. Truck emissions control technology, in both diesel and gasoline burning trucks, has continued to improve with increased research as well as pressure from various environmental groups and agencies. In addition consumers themselves have become more aware of the importance of truck emissions control systems and efficiency both for cost saving as well as environmental reasons. </p>
<p>One option that many truck manufacturers have moved towards is smaller, lighter vehicles to help limit truck emissions. Control systems that are designed to both prevent tailpipe emissions as well as closed system gasoline tanks that prevent evaporative emissions are all standard in most newer trucks. Truck emissions control systems are also standardized in the heavier types of diesel trucks such as dump trucks and heavy hauling vehicles. </p>
<p>There are several programs offered by state government to help upgrade truck emissions control systems for older gasoline motors or for diesel engines. One state that offers such a program is Texas, however it is only applicable to heavy diesel trucks. In addition California also offers truck emissions control grants and incentives that help owners and operators of heavy trucks upgrade to more efficient engines. </p>
<p>Keeping the truck motor, whether diesel or gasoline, well repaired and completely up to date with regards to parts and service is one easy way for truck owners to help manage emissions. Another easy way to help your emissions low on your truck is to properly maintain your tires, keeping them inflated to the correct pressure to prevent additional fuel use when driving. </p>
<p>Some other tips for helping truck emissions control systems limit the amount of hydrocarbons produced include:</p>
<p> Eliminate all extra weight from the vehicle. Often truck owners tend to store a lot of extra &#8220;stuff&#8221; such as tools, equipment, materials and other objects in the bed of the truck. This extra weight can increase the load on the engine, resulting in higher emissions. </p>
<p> The use of regular gas additives that help to reduce build up in the engine will help prevent some tailpipe emissions and will also keep the engine running more efficiently. </p>
<p> Purchase the right grade of diesel fuel or gasoline that is recommended for use in the engine. Each truck manufacturer will make a recommendation in the vehicle manual that indicates the best grade of fuel to use for the type and size of engine. If there is no manual for the vehicle, call a dealership or check with the company via information on the internet that will clearly detail the fuel. </p>
<p>Following a few simple and easy steps can help to truck emissions control systems work to optimum levels. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft" src="http://pollution.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumb1.jpg" alt="Chevrolet 305 Emissions Control Systems: The Basics" width="200" height="148" title="Chevrolet 305 Emissions Control Systems: The Basics" />In the mid to late 1960&#8217;s the focus turned from larger cars into more efficient cars through the implementation of the United States government standards and regulations with regards to emissions standards. The Chevrolet 305 emissions control systems were revamped and redesigned, appearing for the first time in all engines used in Chevy vehicles in 1976. </p>
<p>The Chevrolet 305 emissions control systems were designed to decrease the amount of harmful emissions in the exhaust and to more efficiently burn the fuel within the engine, resulting in less carbon as a by-product. With this also came a slight decrease in performance as the Chevrolet 305 emissions control systems were uniformly added to each vehicle rolling off the dealership lots. The newer, more efficient Chevrolet 305 emissions control systems were found in all V-8 vehicles sold with a 305 engine including such diverse types of vehicles as the Chevrolet Caprice, Monza, Camaro, Malibu, Firebird, Cutlass, Grand Prix and the various small and light duty trucks produced by Chevy. </p>
<p>The Chevrolet 305 emissions control systems work similar to other types of emissions control systems within different types of motors and engines. The systems are designed to monitor the amount of hydrocarbons produced while the vehicle is running, thereby decreasing the damaging emissions released into the environment through the exhaust of the vehicle. Chevrolet 305 emissions control systems are designed to be self correcting, or that the computer within the system will recognize a problem in the amount of hydrocarbons being produced and would automatically make adjustments in the fuel or air in the engine to allow the most efficient type of operation of the motor. Basically the system would self-adjust, providing that the problem with the high level of hydrocarbons was due to some incorrect level of either air or fuel in the engine combustion chamber. Of course if the problem is outside of this, the engine would then signal the operator through a light in the dash that indicates an engine malfunction. In addition the engine would send a message to the computer with the information from the report. When the owner takes the vehicle to a repair station, the mechanic is able to access the data on the computer with regards to the malfunction to help with determining the necessary repair. </p>
<p>One other part of Chevrolet 305 emissions control systems is the catalytic converter. The catalytic converter is a small section of the exhaust system right before the muffler that actually helps to oxidize the hydrocarbons in the exhaust, converting them to carbon dioxide and water. If the catalytic converter becomes dirty or if the engine is very inefficient in burning the fuel the converter will become so hot it will no longer work effectively and will decrease the performance of the vehicle. Sensors in the car&#8217;s computer will alert mechanics to the performance of the catalytic converter and will signal when it needs to be replaced and the engine given a turn-up for better fuel efficiency. </p>
