SAN DIEGO, Jun 14, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Save the World Air Inc. (Pink
Sheets:ZERO), disclosed today that its Board of Directors appointed five new
members to fill vacancies on the board.

The new members are Dr. John Price, Bruce McKinnon, Honorable John Joseph Brown,
Joseph Helleis, and Eugene Eichler.

STWA's President, Edward Masry, said that the addition of these new directors is
part of STWA's plan to enhance the depth and capability of its management team.
"The addition of these new members to our Board of Directors," Masry said, "has
provided STWA with a sudden and dramatic infusion of knowledge and experience
within the areas of international marketing, financial planning and analysis,
corporate accounting and auditing, capital development and product manufacturing
and marketing."

As previously announced, STWA has entered into an agreement with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission that settles the complaint filed against the
company by the SEC in December 2001. The settlement was expected to have been
approved by the court at the hearing scheduled for June 12, 2001, but the court
has rescheduled that hearing to June 25, 2002, at which time we expect the court
will approve the settlement.
