UC Riverside team wins EPA design contest with lawnmower exhaust aftertreatment device

A team of University of California, Riverside Bourns College of Engineering students have won an EPA student design contest for developing an exhaust aftertreatment device that cuts CO, NOx and PM emissions from lawnmowers. EPA estimates that a standard gasoline-powered lawn mower emits 11 times the air pollution of a new car for each hour of operation.
