Save The World Air Completes Successful Test of CAT-MATE Anti-Pollution Device

In Independent Tests, Toxic Engine Emissions Cut by Up to 92%

LOS ANGELES, July 28 -- Environmental activist Erin Brockovich announced today that, according to independent tests conducted earlier this month at a world-recognized laboratory in Hong Kong, the revolutionary new CAT-MATE anti-pollution device developed by Save The World Air, Inc., (Pink Sheets: ZERO) cut toxic engine emissions by as much as 92%.

"This is an important milestone in the validation of our proprietary technology," said Brockovich, who is Environmental Advisor to Save The World Air, a Los Angeles-based developer of anti-pollution devices. "These independent tests demonstrate that we in fact do have a breakthrough technology that can dramatically reduce pollution levels around the world."

Conducted at the Hong Kong Exhaust Emission Laboratory (HKEEL), one of Asia's leading testing centers, the tests found that CAT-MATE cut engine emissions of nitrogen oxides (Nox) by 91.7%. Emissions of Carbon Monoxide (CO) were reduced by 67.9% and total hydrocarbon (THC) emissions were cut by 62.6%. The results are based on multiple tests conducted in closely controlled conditions.

The HKEEL tests are the first independent verification of CAT-MATE's pollution reduction abilities. The HKEEL tests were conducted on a 63cc two-stroke generator, a device commonly used by homes and businesses around the world. The results mirror or exceed the findings of earlier generator tests conducted at SWA's own facilities.

HKEEL is currently conducting similar tests of CAT-MATE on two-stroke motorcycle engines. The results of these tests will be available in the coming weeks. Earlier motorcycle-engine tests conducted by SWA found that CAT-MATE reduced toxic engine emissions by 57% to 91%.

HKEEL is recognized by the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department and the Singapore Land Transport Authority. Its facilities and practices have been approved by the Vehicle Certification Association (VCA) of the United Kingdom, the world leader in exhaust emissions testing. HKEEL is the only laboratory in Hong Kong to have ISO9002:1994 certification.

SWA intends to submit CAT-MATE for VCA testing and possible certification in the coming months. The VCA sets standards for anti-pollution devices throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa.

"Based on the strongly positive results of the Hong Kong test, Save The World Air plans to accelerate research and development of its products," Brockovich said. "In the long term, we are aiming to form business alliances with engine and automobile manufacturers around the world, with the eventual goal of distributing our products globally."

The CAT-MATE device, which attaches directly to the exhaust systems of popular two- and four-stroke engines, was specifically designed by Save The World Air to address a global environmental and health challenge.

Vehicles powered by two-stroke engines are the dominant form of transportation throughout much of Asia and in most developing economies such as those of Eastern Europe. They are also widely used around the world to power motorcycles, lawn mowers, generators, personal watercraft, and a variety of other utility vehicles and devices.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, operating a 70-horsepower two-stroke motor for one hour can produce the same amount of hydrocarbon pollution as driving 5,000 miles in a modern automobile. In all, says the EPA, two-stroke engines account for almost 1.1 billion pounds of hydrocarbon emissions each year, contributing to an estimated 38 million respiratory ailments a year throughout the world.

Save The World Air, Inc., was created to develop devices using proprietary technologies that can be installed on motor vehicles to reduce harmful emissions, improve fuel efficiency, and/or improve performance.
