Environmental Solutions Worldwide Inc. Receives Second EPA Certification; Catalyst/Muffler System Quiet Cat Passes EPA Cert Program

    TELFORD, Pa.--Aug. 28, 2002--Environmental Solutions Worldwide Inc. (OTCBB:ESWW)(ESW), a company that develops, manufactures and markets environmental technologies, today announced that it has received a second EPA Certification with its proprietary catalyst/muffler system Quiet Cat(TM) as part of a complete engine certification package on behalf of a diesel utility engine customer.
    This is the latest certification received in a series of emissions certification filings to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The initial application was submitted in May 2002 after positive diesel emissions tests with ESW's diesel Quiet Cat(TM) at the company'S EPA/CARB accredited emissions lab, Air Testing Services (ATS).
    As stated in a prior news release, EPA/CARB certification is a mandatory U.S. Government requirement for any manufacturer or importer to sell their engines into the North American market. The application submitted to the EPA by ESW on behalf of its customer includes the ESW catalyst/muffler combination in the customer's engine configuration.
    ESW is currently supplying Quiet Cat(TM) units based upon receiving a prior EPA certification on a different engine configuration in March 2002. The company has taken the necessary steps to increase diesel Quiet Cat(TM) production and expects to begin delivering Quiet Cat(TM) units for this new certified engine group shortly.
    "We are pleased that ESW has received this second certification on behalf of one of our diesel utility engine customers," stated John Donohoe, the company's CEO, president and vice chairman.
    "We consider these certificate programs to be an important and essential part of the company's future and we continue to work diligently toward these and other specific milestones in our business plan. The company believes government certifications have the potential to attract new customers to our testing and certification services, as well as to our unique catalytic solutions."
    Donohoe further reiterated, "Our EPA/CARB accredited emissions lab and research and development division of the company is currently working with other companies that require emission reductions and have a need for our quality products and services.
    "Although our primary focus has shifted from the complete manufacture of finished automotive catalytic converters to that of a company that primarily manufactures proprietary diesel, gas/petrol and Compressed Natural Gas/Liquid Propane Gas (CNG/LPG) substrates, the Quiet Cat(TM) catalyst/muffler line continues to be manufactured and marketed by the company in its finished form."
