Ahmad Yani,<br>\nBekasi, involving 111 private vehicles on Wednesday and another<br>\n121 on Thursday, all of which actually have a sticker showing<br>\nthat they \"passed\" the emissions test.<\/p>\n<p>The Bekasi transportation agency revealed on Thursday that<br>\nmost cars were far in excess of the emissions acceptability<br>\nstandards in terms of carbon monoxide and other pollutants.<\/p>\n<p>\"Although so many cars do not meet the standards, we don't<br>\npunish them ... We only advise them to improve,\" Wawan Suwandi,<br>\nhead of the agency's vehicle check unit, told The Jakarta Post.<\/p>\n<p>The national standard, set in a State Minister of the<br>\nEnvironment decree issued in 1993, regulates that gasoline-fueled<br>\ncars can emit a maximum of 4.5 percent of carbon monoxide (CO)<br>\nand 2,400 ppm of Hydrocarbons (HC). Diesel-fueled cars' smoke<br>\nopacity is limited to 25 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The Greater Jakarta administrations, which include Bekasi,<br>\nhave applied tougher standards compared to the national standard.<\/p>\n<p>The revised standard applied since January 2004, requires<br>\nvehicles with injection systems to be below 2 percent CO and 600<br>\nppm of HC.<\/p>\n<p>According to the official, 70 percent of air pollution in the<br>\nbudding industrial town of Bekasi is contributed by vehicle<br>\nemissions, while the remaining 30 percent is produced by<br>\nbusinesses.<\/p>\n<p>Donny, a motorist who failed the check, said that he did not<br>\nknow that he had to have his vehicle regularly checked. \"I'm<br>\ngrateful that the administration did a test on my old car. I'm<br>\ntold I need to have the carburetor repaired.\"<\/p>",
