TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Effects of the reduced toxicity of car exhaust on accidental deaths: a comparison of the United States and Great Britain JO - Accident analysis and prevention A1 - Lester, David A1 - Clarke, Ronald Victor Gemuseus SP - 191 EP - 193 VL - 21 IS - 2 N2 - A study of the frequency of car exhaust as a cause of accidental death in the United States from 1968 to 1984 showed that the accidental death rate from car exhaust has declined during the same period during which the toxicity of car exhaust has been reduced through the imposition of emission controls. However, in Great Britain, where there are no emission controls on cars, the accidental death rate from car exhaust has risen slightly over the same period. Thus, the introduction of emission controls on cars to reduce pollution of the environment seems to have had incidental beneficial effects on mortality from accidental poisoning from car exhaust.
