This report by ICCT reviews current trends in motorcycle emissions and fuel efficiency technology. Summarizes policy approaches to improve motorcycle emission and energy performance, and discusses what is required to implement these policies.

Air pollution levels in the megacities of Asia show a stabilizing trend but still exceed World Health Organization
guidelines. Studies also show poor air quality, not only in the megacities of Asia, but also in smaller cities with
populations of 200,000 to 1.5 million. While megacities often receive support for improving air quality; similar

The air pollution is a growing problem in a number of cities around the world. Over the years, starting from the days of the infamous London smog and Los Angeles smog episodes, the cities around the world have established programs to better understand the air pollution sources and facilitated ways to control the pollution.

With the increase of motor vehicles, ambient air pollution related to traffic exhaust has become an important environmental issue in China. Because of their fast growth and development, children are more susceptible to ambient air pollution exposure.

This publication includes a summary of experiences in reducing car use and emissions reduction and is intended for policy-makers, automobile manufacturers, fuel industry executives and city officials.

Over the past two decades the issue of air pollution in the
Kathmandu Valley has become of increasing concern as
concentrations of ambient air pollution exceed international
air quality guidelines and standards. The steady growth in
road traffic has resulted in the increasing contribution of
vehicle emissions to urban air pollution, especially particulate

Policymakers in rapidly growing urban areas increasingly recognize that addressing air quality issues is an urgent priority. The developing countries should aspire to imitate the air pollution modeling systems, irrespective of the modeling limitations.

Pune In a first of its kind initiative by city-based Indian Institute of Tropical Meterology (IITM), scientists of the institute will assess the quality of air in Delhi during the Commonwealth Games next year. Scientists will be able to predict pollution levels 24 hours in advance at 10 key locations.
