Pollution from boats remains an enormous problem, but can be tackled with the new
range of engines with efficient catalytic converters, it has been claimed. Environmental Defense Welcomes EPA's Proposed Standards for Small
Gas EngineToday
Environmental Defense welcomed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s
overdue proposal to clean up new, small engines and strongly encourages
EPA to finalize these standards by the end of the year. Ozone pollution
can contribute to reduced lung capacity, lung airway irritation and
inflammation, asthma attacks, increased ER visits and admissions and
increased mortality. This proposal covers small watercraft, lawn and
garden equipment. These small engines, such as lawn mowers and
recreational boats, are responsible for about 25% of smog-forming
hydrocarbon emissions from mobile sources. http://www.environmentaldefense Pollution rules may tighten for small engines On
Tuesday, the government proposed tighter pollution rules on small engines
that could result in the widespread use of catalytic converters on powered
consumer products ranging from lawn mowers to boats. http://www.usatoday.com/money/ OSHA Proposes new regulations For boat builders.
These new fire safety standards are supported by NMMA From Boating Industry: 2/16/07 Small boat companies dominate J.D. Power awards. 2/16/07 JD Power Study suggests high-tech engine education needed. |
