The Smog campaign aims to remove from the roads vehicles whose technical condition clearly indicates, for example through excessive smoke, improper engine operation or damage to the exhaust system, which may result in increased exhaust emissions.
Officers equipped with specialized inspection and measuring equipment will also test the exhaust emissions of vehicles where there is reasonable suspicion that they fail to meet environmental protection requirements.
Officers:
The campaign is also informational and educational. Let us remember that transport, particularly in large cities, contributes to worsening air quality. Police officers will remind drivers that the smog making itself felt is also the “credit” of technically defective vehicles emitting excessively toxic exhaust fumes.
And they add:
Due to increasing air pollution—and consequently the negative impact of many substances on the health and lives of both humans and all fauna and flora—smog has become a global-scale problem. Therefore, we should all try to comply with regulations concerning emissions of harmful substances.
