source emissions, or emissions from motor vehicles and non-road
engines, account for almost a third of the air pollution in the
United States. Routine aging and deterioration of vehicles,
poor state of tune, and emission system tampering all increase
emissions.
These
emissions, primarily hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides, contribute to the
formation of ground level ozone, a noxious pollutant considered this
country’s most pressing urban air quality problem.
To reduce vehicle emissions, the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has enacted several new standards that will phase in
nationwide between 2004 and 2008. Low sulfur gasoline and diesel
fuels will also be introduced during this period. These standards
address emissions from passenger cars, light trucks, and heavy-duty
diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles. In addition, EPA recently
began to address emissions from non-road equipment and is developing
emission standards comparable to those for cars and trucks. These new standards will, in time,
favorably impact air quality throughout the United States.

EP requested and EPA granted a
fuel waiver to allow Duval County
to utilize conventional gasoline in place of the low volatility
gasoline required in this county to minimize ozone formation
during the summer. This was needed due to shortages of the low
volatility gasoline in the Jacksonville area caused by Tropical
Storm Fay.
