"GREEN" NEWS * USA - Electronic car tests pollution on the go

USC and UCLA researchers team up to collect samples to analyze L.A. air near freeways, neighborhoods

Los Angeles,CA,USA -The Daily Trojan Online, by Hannah Kim -26 Feb 2007: -- At first glance, USC assistant professor Scott Fruin's vehicle looks like something out of "Back to the Future"... But far from being stolen out of a Hollywood backlot, the electric vehicle actually performs an important function: measuring concentrations of harmful particles on freeways and in nearby residential areas... Carbon dioxide was one of the gases being monitored in the research... the monitoring would continue until the end of the first full week of March. They would then collect data in the spring, summer and fall in order to obtain data for each season...
