Emission Testing * Malta - Has to be taken seriously
La Valeta,Malta -The Times of Malta -11 July 2009: -- The Malta Transport Authority (ADT) betrayed people's trust when it ignored people's text messages reporting emissions, the environmental organisation Flimkien ghal-Ambjent Ahjar (FAA) said... It said it was about the consequences of ADT's poor performance on street pollution adding that motivation to send such reports had been severely undermined. Apologies were not enough to limit the damage arising out of this mistake... As for ADT's claims that emission testing was still being conducted on all vehicles including public transport buses, coaches, trucks and other heavy vehicles, the organisation said that if this was the case, results were still lacking... It insisted that the time had come to empower traffic wardens and the police to enforce the law in respect of polluting vehicles. Vehicles emitting visible smoke should be taken off the road or sent for an immediate inspection without allowing any chance to readjust their engine and replace adulterated fuel with diesel fuel... FAA also felt it would be appropriate if the Health Department took on an active role in reducing traffic induced pollution on Malta's streets...Labels: trucks' pollution
