一份美國聯邦政府的新報告顯示，過去12年來從燃油汽車所排放出來的有毒廢氣已經減少了很多，這都要歸功於聯邦清淨燃料計畫以及再重組汽油。
根據美國環保署今天最新發行的分析報告指出，汽油成分改變以符合1995年至2005年的聯邦清淨燃料計畫，使得有毒排放物大幅減少，而且經常是「比原本規定要求的減少幅度更大」。
美國環保署針對汽油所採行的清淨燃料計畫可說是1990年空氣清淨法案的成果之一。1995年時，美國環保署執行再重組汽油計畫，是為了要減少廢氣排放所可能形成的揮發性有機化合物（VOCs）、氮氧化物（NOx），以及空氣中的有毒物質，如：從汽車所排放出的苯和甲醛。
Toxic emissions from gas-burning motor vehicles have been reduced over the past 12 years due to federal clean fuel programs and reformulated gasoline, a new federal government report shows.
Changes in gasoline composition to comply with federal clean fuel programs between 1995 and 2005 resulted in emission reductions that were often "substantially greater than regulatory requirements," according to a new analysis issued today by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The EPA adopted clean fuel programs for gasoline as a result of the Clean Air Act of 1990.
In 1995, the agency implemented the reformulated gasoline program, designed to reduce emissions of smog-forming volatile organic compounds, VOCs, and oxides of nitrogen, NOx, as well as air toxics such as benzene and formaldehyde from motor vehicles.
