Catalytic Converters on Marine Engines: 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.http://www.platinum.matthey.com/media_ room/1182852008.html Environmental Defense Welcomes EPA's Proposed Standards for Small Gas Engine Today 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.org/pressrelease.cfm?ContentID=6283 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.
