Environmental Solutions Worldwide Inc. Receives CARB Level II Executive Order Year Model Extension For its Particular Reactor(TM) Diesel Catalyst

CONCORD, Ontario--Aug. 3, 2006--Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. (ESW) (OTCBB:ESWW) announced today that the Company has received an executive order verification extension to its proprietary Level II(1) California Air Resources Board (CARB) advanced Diesel Catalyst branded "Particulate Reactor(TM)."

In 2004, ESW became the first catalytic substrate manufacturer and catalyst coating company in the world to achieve a CARB Level II Verification. The original executive order verification covered specific diesel engines from model years 1991 through to the end of 1993 used in on-road applications operating on standard CARB diesel fuel. The newly granted extension covers specific diesel engines from model year 1994 through to the end of 1997 used in on-road applications operating on standard CARB diesel fuel currently found at local service stations. Specific engine families and application guidelines for the original Particulate Reactor(TM) verification and the extension can be found in the Executive Order which is posted on the CARB website(2).

The Particulate Reactor(TM) is a proprietary, passive stand alone diesel catalytic converter that's performance is a result of its advanced catalyst coating technology and the torturous gas flow path created by the unique metallic wire mesh substrate. This extremely durable combination utilizes the high catalytic surface area, which in turn provides the emissions reductions required to achieve the 50% or greater Particulate Matter (PM) reductions needed to obtain Level II status. To date, no other catalyst manufacturer has received this status without the usage of ultra low sulfur fuel(3) or other aiding/supplementary devices.

Since the issuance of the first CARB executive order verification in 2004, the Particulate Reactor(TM) has been successfully installed in North American applications ranging from school and transit buses to waste hauler trucks. Every Particulate Reactor(TM) in operation under the guidelines is performing to expectation without the need for service or maintenance.

David J. Johnson, ESW's President and CEO commented, "This further verification broadens the spectrum of product application, permitting us to market and sell the Particulate Reactor(TM) through our partners in California as well as the balance of the United States due to verification reciprocity agreement(4) between CARB and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). CARB verification is also broadly recognized in the international arena which we believe opens opportunities for the product in several global markets. The EPA's selection of the Particulate Reactor(TM) as the only Level II device for a technology demonstration(5) in Beijing, China we consider a prime example of this process."

"The fact that we performed the complete CARB verification protocol using regular CARB fuel and are to date the only company to achieve Level II status without the use of Ultra Low Sulfur fuel or other aiding devices is an significant point," Mr. Johnson further remarked. "It's our belief that proving our technologies ability to perform in high sulfur applications is critical to moving forward as we prepare to submit our product to CARB for off-road verification into the construction sector of the industry."
