Controlling Air Pollution - Predictions for 2008

Santa Fe, NM – December 12, 2007 - CleanAIR Systems, a leader in emissions control technology, has drawn upon their daily interaction with regulatory standards, original equipment manufacturers and businesses using air pollution control products, to forecast their “Air Pollution Control - Predictions for 2008”.

The issue of air pollution and how to control it was a hot topic in 2007, particularly with climate change and serious health issues caused by pollutants topping the list of public concerns. As a result, the industry of emissions control technology has become a fast-growing market segment trying to keep pace with mounting demand for cleaner air.

Over the past fifteen years, CleanAIR Systems has seen a significant change in air quality regulations and public attitude towards cleaning up the air we breathe. Since 1993, the company has developed and manufactured several new technologies to control emission pollutants such as diesel particulate matter, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and NOx.

What lies ahead in 2008 for the emissions control industry and air pollution reduction?

CleanAIR Systems predicts the following:

An increase in the development of new emissions control technologies.
With new air quality and energy regulations constantly coming into affect, demand is high for evolving technologies to bring emissions under control in order to meet regulatory standards for vehicles, stationary engines and power plants.

The acquisition and merger of companies involved in emissions control.
With the recent acquisition of several major players in the field of control technology, the future will see more purchases as large entities look for existing companies to fulfill their emission control needs and become a part of their corporate umbrella.

More state and regional air quality regulations being passed.
Rather than rely on the federal government to set air quality standards, individual states and regional coalitions are going to task and passing their own regulations. Following the lead of strict California standards already in place, this trend will increase with environmental and citizen-action groups such as Utah Moms for Clean Air, joining forces with local and state governments to fight for tougher air quality laws.

An increase in emissions control in the Asian market.
The upcoming Beijing Olympics and several controversial pollution reports have made the issue of China’s ever-increasing air pollution a worldwide problem. With a reported 400,000 Chinese dying prematurely each year from air pollution related illnesses and a new coal-fired power plant coming into operation every few days, bringing modern emissions control technology to China will be a global necessity.

Acceptance of the diesel vehicle as a means to increase fuel economy and decrease emissions.
Diesel cars and trucks are not the same dirty engines they use to be. They get 30% better fuel economy than traditional gas vehicles (therefore creating less pollution). Today’s new diesel cars and trucks also run on Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel and boast ever-more efficient pollution control technology to substantially reduce particulate matter, sulfur and NOx emissions. Diesels emit less CO2 than gasoline vehicles and can also run on biodiesel. In Europe, diesel vehicles are now the car of choice and are gaining more of a foot hold in the U.S. with the knowledge that diesel doesn’t mean dirty anymore.
