| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the effects of fossil-fuel burning equipment on air quality. Explains that the "EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] provides an Air Quality Index (AQI) for 'five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particle pollution (also known as particulate matter), carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.'" Mentions environmental stewardship efforts by several golf courses, highlighting a case study at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa in Kewadin, Michigan. States that "in their case study, 'Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians Diesel Retrofit Initiative Project Summary,' they write that 'Exhaust from these older engines is a complex mixture of over 100 gaseous and particle constituents, including carbon monoxide (CO), hyrdocarbons (HC), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), particulate matter (PM) and oxides of sulfur (derived from the sulfur in fuel).'" Describes the golf course maintenance retrofit initiative efforts, stating that it "included two mowers and a tractor operated by the Grand Traverse Resort." Reports that "the catalytic converters will reduce harmful emissions by as much as 60 percent, which not only helps the environment but also the operators of the equipment." |

| Note: | Correction appears in Golf Course Management, 76(4) April 2008: "In the Inside Your Environment column in the February 2008 GCM that featured Class A superintendent Paul Galligan retrofitting the catalytic converters on some of his maintenance equipment with diesel oxidation catalysts to reduce exhaust levels, the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa should have been located in Acme instead of Kewadin, Mich."
