22. Vehicular air pollution control has
become a keenly - felt need today. It
involves the control of the harmful gases
produced by cars, buses and lorries.
Since automobile air pollution is quite
serious in many of our cities, a concrete
programme should be evolved to reduce
these emissions. The discharge of
pollutants, particularly the offensive black
smoke, can only be attributed to
inefficient engine performance.
Improvement of engine performance will
also lead to better fuel economy.

that it accounts for nearly 30 percent of
India?s total consumption of petroleum
products. It results in a corresponding
quantity of pollution. The main consumer
of diesel is road transport. Control of
vehicular pollution should be based on
methods that are in keeping with sound
in expensive methods are available to
achieve the desired ends.
