A new study suggests that focusing on a gasoline-fueled vehicle’s cold start is the best target for future design changes to reduce emissions of criteria pollutants. Much of this haze is formed from volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, and fine particulate matter from tailpipe emissions. That’s still the best place to reduce emissions.
