Cover of Review of Vertical Exhausts
Review of Vertical Exhausts
  • Publication no: AP-105-93
  • ISBN: 0 85588 430 4
  • Published: 1 January 1993
The Review of Vertical Exhausts report concludes that vertical exhaust stacks on heavy vehicles result in dramatically improved air quality and only slightly higher noise levels compared to conventional low exit exhaust systems in an urban environment. The report recommends no changes be made to the present Australian Design Rules. However each State and Territory should develop in-service regulations to control the exhaust noise level.
