Air Pollution

Local Response: Even when the government finally yielded to

the demands of the Environment Ministry and the non-
governmental environment groups, and made lead-free
gasoline available throughout the country, no one, not the
ministry of health, not the transport ministry and not the
ministry of environment has actually made the effort to
educate the public to prefer unleaded fuel for their cars.
