emissions testing
Tailpipe pollution check
Emissions testing is the inspection of a vehicle's exhaust to measure pollutants released into the air.
Many jurisdictions require periodic testing to ensure cars meet environmental standards: My car failed emissions testing, so I had to get the catalytic converter replaced.
Also called a smog check or smog test.
