Car emissions, as acknowledged by the Garage Equipment Association in the UK and Europe, refer to the gases and particulate matter released into the atmosphere from the combustion of fuels in internal combustion engines. These emissions play a significant role in environmental and public health concerns, making them a focal point for regulatory standards and initiatives.
Under the guidance of the Garage Equipment Association, there is a concerted effort to monitor, regulate, and reduce car emissions to mitigate their impact on air quality and climate change. The association collaborates with industry stakeholders to establish and uphold stringent emission standards for vehicles, ensuring that they comply with legal requirements.
Car Emissions primarily consist of carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These pollutants, if released in excessive quantities, can contribute to air pollution, smog formation, and adverse health effects.
The Garage Equipment Association plays a crucial role in advocating for cleaner and more sustainable technologies, such as electric vehicles and cleaner-burning fuels. By promoting awareness, setting industry standards, and supporting initiatives that reduce car emissions, the association contributes to creating a more environmentally friendly and health-conscious automotive landscape in the UK and Europe.
