I/M is limited to vehicles registered in metropolitan Chicago and metropolitan East St. Louis, and it is one of Illinois most important tools for improving air quality and meeting federal air quality standards. For example, I/M reduces emissions of ozone-forming volatile organic compounds by 26 tons per day in northeastern Illinois. | | | Date Created: | 10 03 2003 | | | Agency ID: | | | | ISL ID: | 000000041541 Original UID: 21409 FIRST WORD: Effectiveness | |
