This is a common sense step that relies on affordable, proven technology already in use in millions of gasoline vehicles outside the US. The overall combination of reductions in particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and other air pollutants are expected to deliver $13 billion in annual health benefits. One thing to keep in mind.
