Older cars without pollution control are dangerous in dense areas of Florida
Victor Schneider, Ph. D.
at ground level, which is where most people live around here, I think
air pollution from old cars has become extremely serious, and is under-
reported.
I just don't understand how the state of Florida can stop car inspections
and not require at least the most minimal of pollution control devices
on older cars. I can remember going to California with an older car,
and having it retro-fitted with a device for retarding the ignition at
higher speeds. I'll bet that most of the older vehicles in Florida
don't even have that kind of rudimentary pollution-control device. And,
in large metropolitan areas like Miami and Tampa, you can bet that there
are people having pollution symptoms from these cars.

The simple act of keeping them tuned up would eliminate the most
egregious pollution. Besides, the older cars are becoming a rare sight
on the roads today. Just let nature take its course!
