DENPASAR, Bali: In order to raise public awareness of fuel
emission standards, the Office of the State Minister for the
Environment held an "emission competition" in Bali on Wednesday.

Some 600 cars took part in the competition, said Erwin
Suryadarma, acting spokesman for the Denpasar municipal
government. The national standards were set in 1993 and stipulate
that gasoline-fueled cars, for example, can emit a maximum of 4.5
percent carbon monoxide (CO) and 2,400 ppm of hydrocarbons (HC).

Prizes were on offer for the cars that emitted the lowest
levels of CO and HC. Similar competitions will also be held in
the near future in four other big cities -- Bandung, Semarang,
Yogyakarta and Surabaya. -- JP
