Cleaner Gasoline Regulation — December 1995
The Cleaner Gasoline Regulation establishes standards for gasoline that will significantly reduce emissions of harmful pollutants, such as volatile organics, nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides and toxics.
Gasoline Vapour Control Regulation — May 1995
This regulation requires the installation and use of gasoline vapour control systems at service stations, bulk gasoline storage plants, gasoline terminals and on truck cargo tankers. These systems are designed to prevent the escape of gasoline vapours into the atmosphere during the transfer of gasoline between fuel storage tanks and cargo tankers.
Motor
Vehicle Emissions Control Warranty Regulation — April 1996
This prohibits the sale or the making available for sale, of a motor vehicle in British Columbia unless the manufacturer promises to fix the vehicle free of charge if there are defects in materials or workmanship that cause the vehicle to fail emission standards, or the vehicle fails AirCare.
Also, see Legislation and Regulations on the Climate Action Secretariat's website. Since air quality and climate change are interrelated,
this legislation will help decrease vehicle emissions that contribute to air pollution, as well as climate change. The Greenhouse Gas Reduction (Vehicle Emissions Standards) Act is one example of this legislation.
