The US state of California has assumed a pioneering role in efforts to restrict by law pollutant emissions emanating from motor vehicles. The California legislature was spurred into action not least due to the fact that the city of Los Angeles is situated in a basin, preventing wind from dispersing exhaust gases and causing a blanket of haze to descend on and hang over the city. Given the high levels of pollutants in the air, this phenomenon led to the buildup of smog and as a result caused health problems in the city’s population and massive restrictions on visibility.
