Emission standard is important to maintain the limits of air pollutants in environment such as oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, particulate matter and oxides of sulfur. Therefore regulating pollutants is a must to regulate and control automobile emission and other emission from industrial process such power plant for regulating greenhouse gasses. Don’t you know that in United States, emission performance standard is controlled by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unless for California state which is managed by CARB (California Air Resources Board)? So other states have free choice to select EPA or California standard.
To get better emission standard in climate change perspective, every states needs good environmental emission laws enforcement to audit and inspect any companies and vehicles which violate emission regulation. That’s why Department of Environmental Conservation in all states has special squad on environment agency to combat emission violation in effective and efficient way, particularly for excessive CO2 emissions. They are unofficially called as green police as their nickname because they always wear green jacket while in charge. In New York City, the green police consist of twenty officers who are taking responsible to handle environmental regulations and other issues as their main jobs with certain authority.
Their authorities of green police include the power to pull over the vehicles if they are found to violate the limit of emission standard. They are also able to investigate company property, food vendor and track carbon trading across United States in order to ensure environmental regulations and prevent possible violators.
The positive effect of this emission laws enforcement is to monitor Co2 emission performance that released by industry and vehicles for energy saving purposes, so the company will determine how to increase the fuel efficiency on their utilities. It is so important to put into emission law on all companies to get them support energy efficiency due to globally climate change.
