          ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS WORLDWIDE SECOND QUARTER PROFITABLE
                        REVENUE INCREASE OF $3.5 MILLION
                         GROSS PROFIT UP $1.28 MILLION
                             NET INCOME - $152,067

CONCORD, ON (AUGUST 18, 2010) Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. (ESW)
(OTCBB:ESWW) and (Frankfurt Stock Exchange - FWB:EOW), a leading developer,
manufacturer and seller of technology solutions for the environmental control
and military markets, announced second quarter 2010 revenues of $3.5 million, an
increase of over 4,000 per cent, compared to $84,568 in the quarter ended June
30, 2009. The increase primarily reflects sales of the company's verified Therma
Cat (TM) Active Level III on- and off-road products that meet new regulations,
as well as sales of the Xtrm Cat (TM) locomotive and marine product.

As a result, gross profit for the quarter was $1.3 million compared to $48,627
in the 2009 second quarter and net income was $152,067, compared to a net loss
of $1.7 million (net comprehensive income in the current quarter was $10,019, or
$0.00 per share, compared to a net comprehensive loss of $1.6 million or $0.02
per share in the 2009 quarter). The net income resulted from improved revenues
and a gain from a mark to market adjustment on advanced share subscriptions.
Loss from operations reduced to $561,362 in the second quarter of 2010 from $1.6
million in the 2009 quarter a 65% decrease. EBITDA for the 2010 second quarter
was $485,657, a turnaround of $1.7 million from the second quarter of 2009
(negative 1.26 million).

"Our quarterly performance validates the time and resources we invested and
continue to invest in gaining approvals for our new products," said David J.
Johnson, ESW's president and CEO. "Demand is increasing for these solutions, as
national, regional and local regulations become more exacting and set firm
deadlines. We continue to expand our pipeline in the municipal and government
sectors, and are actively bidding on an increasing number of significant
opportunities. Accordingly, the second half of 2010 should be a period of solid
top line growth, while we continue to build our product portfolio and
distribution network to meet the demands of an exciting and expanding market."

Revenues for the first six months of 2010 increased $5.3 million to a total of
$5.8 million compared to the $454,686 reported in the same 2009 six month
period, while gross profit was $2.0 million compared to $212,727. The 2010 six
month net loss was $4.8 million, compared to a net loss of $3.4 million (net
comprehensive loss in the current six month period was $4.8 million or $0.05 per
share, compared to $3.3 million or $0.05 per share in the 2009 period). The 2010
net loss reflects one time charges of approximately $2.9 million for an
inducement premium (paid on convertible debentures), long-term debt accretion
and mark to market adjustment on advance share subscriptions.

EBITDA for the 2010 six month period without these charges was negative $907,886
compared to a negative $2.3 million in 2009 a $1.4 million improvement over the
prior year period. Additional detailed financial information for the ESW's
second quarter can be found the company's 10-Q filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
