Policies to accelerate the rate of capital stock turnover in automobile and aircraft fleets may be the quickest way to reduce the short-term rate of emissions growth...Rewards can be offered for retiring older vehicles and airplanes that do not meet current national emissions standards, or small environmental "user fees" can be imposed, with the fees proportional to the vehicle's energy consumption. 2, record 1, English, - national%20emissions%20standard

La manière la plus rapide de freiner la croissance des émissions à court terme est peut-être d'accélérer le renouvellement du parc automobile et de la flotte aérienne [...] Des incitations financières pourraient encourager le retrait de la circulation des véhicules anciens et des avions qui ne satisfont plus aux normes nationales d'émissions, l'autre solution consistant à imposer de modestes - « redevances d'utilisation » environnementales, celles-ci étant proportionnelles à la consommation d'énergie du véhicule. 2, record 1, French, - norme%20nationale%20d%26rsquo%3B%C3%A9mission

The next step in quantifying health effects would be to estimate the decline in the number of cases of diseases that may result if the proposed light duty vehicle emission standards are implemented. Two types of data are required to make this estimate: 1. Dose-response functions for each adverse effect (the mathematical relationship between the dose of a pollutant that an individual receives and the probability that he will experience a particular adverse effect); and 2. Estimates of the impact of the proposed light duty vehicle standards on the number, ambient concentrations, and duration of concentrations of CO, NOx and O3 in excess of National Ambient Air Quality Objectives. 1, record 6, English, - light%20duty%20vehicle%20emission%20standard
