Abstract
Vehicles growth has continuous negative influence on air pollution problem especially in urban areas. Exhaust emissions from vehicles contribute for a significant amount of toxic air polluters, harmful both for the environment and health. This underlines the need for development and implementation of technological measures aimed towards emission control and reduction. Technological measures are under continuous research and innovative development, and as a result vehicles have the opportunity to be equipped with different solutions for emission control. Used technological measures at the moment, as well as the next generation measures are all included in the categorized review presented is this paper. Also, a suitable kind of technological measures for countries like Macedonia without industry for car production and with older vehicle fleet are presented.
