Starting today, emissions regulations for diesel cars and mid to small sized motorcycles will be tightened by 200-percent... as part of the Ministry of Environment's amendment to the Clean Air Conservation Act.
The ministry says the revision is one of the "comprehensive measures for fine dust management" announced by the government last September,... in order to reduce fine dust that's pumped into the air by diesel cars and motorcycles.
With the new regulations, the government plans to reduce fine dust by around three-thousand-two-hundred tons over the next ten years,... and lower noise pollution caused by motorcycles.
