Environmental Solutions Worldwide Announces Test Results for Full-Sized Enviro Cat; Company Says Catalytic Converter Yields Excellent Results In Trials Made By Independent Test Center

    MARKHAM, Ontario--September 12, 2000-- ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE, INC. (OTC BB: ESWW), the developer of a high-performance environmentally friendly catalytic converter and spark plug technology, announced today emissions test results of its full-sized Enviro Cat(TM) catalytic converter confirming the effectiveness of the Company's proprietary technology.
    Following two rounds of in-house testing on smaller models in July and August, Environmental Solutions Worldwide developed the full-size prototype for testing following the delivery of a dye from Germany.
    The Company said that trials conducted by an independent test center in the state of Pennsylvania last week determined that the full-sized Enviro Cat(TM) prototype performed well in reducing emissions of hydrocarbons (HC), nitrous oxide (NOx), oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and that adjustments can be made in the formula to improve the reduction of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. The structural integrity of the Enviro Cat(TM) also was proven through ultrasound testing, the Company added.
    "The tests confirm the results of previous trials showing that the Enviro Cat(TM) produces major improvement in emission reductions over catalytic converters made by existing original equipment manufacturers," stated Mark Nicole, Chief Executive Officer of Environmental Solutions Worldwide. "At this stage, we will optimize the final formula for unleaded fuel and then distribute samples for testing to auto manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers."
