Emission studies show that lead is only a small part of the automotive pollution problem. Prior to control, hydrocarbon emissions were more than 40 times and the oxides of nitrogen emissions more than 15 times the emission of the lead compounds. Obviously, however, legislation will result in the eventual elimination of lead from gasoline. The removal of lead, besides eliminating a possible toxic pollutant, simplifies the problem of handling other automotive exhaust pollutants in that catalytic exhaust chambers perform much better in the absence of lead contaminant. All emission standards become particularly severe in 1975 and 1980. The particulate standards are equivalent to 1 gram Pb/gal in 1975 and 0.3 gram Pb/gal in 1980. Since the particulates include all solid materials, tolerable lead levels will be less than indicated above.
