Environmental Solutions Worldwide's Clean Cat Diesel Catalyst Outperforms OEM Diesel Catalyst

Testing Demonstrates 'Particulate Reduction Improves 100%'

CANADA, ONTARIO, MARKHAM, Jun. 7 -/E-Wire/-- Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. (ESW) (OTCBB:ESWW), a company that develops, manufactures and markets environmental technologies, today announced that the Company has completed a test program designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of its Clean Cat® Diesel Catalytic Particulate Reactor in removing toxic diesel particulate (soot). The tests were conducted at ESW's EPA/CARB accredited test facility (ATS) and were administered on a new 2001 Volkswagen diesel powered vehicle.

The evaluation program took three test conditions into consideration. The first was a baseline test without any diesel catalyst installed. A second test was performed with the OEM's oxidation converter in the exact factory location. The third and final test was performed with ESW's Clean Cat® diesel oxidation converter installed in place of the (OEM) converter unit. Each laboratory test was performed under the same conditions while utilizing the EPA/ LA-4 transient emissions chassis dynamometer driving cycle.

The ESW diesel converter used for the test was identical in both size and volume to that of the original equipment Volkswagen catalyst.

ESW's Clean Cat® Particulate Reactor, which is specifically designed to reduce particulate emissions from diesel engines, in in-house testing demonstrated to be twice as effective in reducing particulate as compared to the factory installed original equipment manufacture's (OEM) diesel oxidation catalyst. The Clean Cat® was able to achieve this milestone without increasing NOx (oxides of nitrogen) emissions levels. In addition, Clean Cat® also reduced emissions of HC (hydrocarbon) and CO (carbon monoxide) to levels below current USA light duty diesel vehicle standards.

ESW's patent pending Clean Cat® utilizes a unique passive oxidation catalyst technology. The Clean Cat® substrate and coating technology is a significant diversion from conventional ceramic catalysts for diesels currently available on the market. ESW intends to offer for sale its diesel technology to OEM's as well as to aftermarket catalyst packagers.

Test Run Test No. 1 Test No. 2 Test No. 3 -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Test Configuration Without Converter Original Factory ESW's (Baseline) Converter Clean Cat® Converter ------------------ ----------------- ---------------- ------------ Particulate Matter (PM-10) .08 .06 .04 grams of particulate per mile driven ------------------ ----------------- ---------------- ------------ Percent Reduction 0% 25% 50% ------------------ ----------------- ---------------- ------------

(Test Results are expressed in percentage reductions as compared to baseline.) (All tests were performed using commercially available pump grade Diesel fuel.)

David Johnson, Chief Operating Officer of ESW, commented: "These test results further indicate that ESW's Clean Cat® diesel converter technology consistently exceeds the performance of conventional ceramic honey comb flow through diesel oxidation catalysts. ESW's management is extremely pleased with the Clean Cat's evolution and testing performance over the past few months. As the market demand for diesel particulate controls dramatically intensifies, ESW is exhibiting the necessary strategic steps to lead the way with catalytic converter technologies.'

Diesel Particulate contributes to serious public health problems including premature mortality, aggravation of respiratory and cardiovascular disease, asthma, acute respiratory symptoms, chronic bronchitis, and decreased lung function. Numerous medical studies also link diesel exhaust to increased incidence of lung cancer. The EPA believes that diesel exhaust is likely to be carcinogenic to humans by inhalation and that this cancer hazard exists in occupational and environmental levels of exposure. Worldwide government regulations are currently being executed resulting in lowered particulate emissions stemming from diesel engine exhaust. In the USA, strict particulate emissions are now in place.
