[Chris Zegras]

 From the Press Release:

A CSE study shows that the Supreme Court ruling on trucks and goods 
vehicles will make a dramatic impact on particulate pollution
levels in the Capital

NEW DELHI July 16, 2002: Centre for Science and Environment welcomes the 
recent Supreme Court ruling that prohibits the entry of polluting
trucks into Delhi and mandates Euro II compliance for the city's 
transportation fleet. More than 65,000 trucks and other goods vehicles will 
be barred from entering Delhi after the Court order is enforced. 
Immediately after the Court ruling, CSE estimated the impact of this move 
on emissions from truck sources into Delhi with the help of its newly 
developed computer simulated vehicular emissions load model. The results 
are dramatic.
