NASA SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY TO MONITOR MOTOR VEHICLE

POLLUTION

Cities and states may soon have a new high-tech tool in the
battle against automotive air pollution, thanks to NASA satellite
technology originally developed to track global greenhouse gases
and the Earth's protective ozone layer. As envisioned, NASA's
atmospheric remote sensing technology will be adapted to an
autonomous roadside system to monitor motor vehicle emissions.
Cars and trucks will pass through a low-power light beam, without
stopping or slowing down. Space-age sensor technology will
instantly analyze vehicle exhaust pollutants important to local
and state governments working to meet federally mandated air
quality standards.
