Vehicular Air Pollution in Colombo
<p><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Vehicular Air Pollution in Colombo</strong></span></p> <p><img alt="" src="http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/files/country/srilanka/vehicular_pollution_hl.jpg" style="width: 530px; height: 300px; border-width: 2px; border-style: solid;" /></p> <p>In Colombo vehicles are responsible for 60% of the air pollution load. The city is falling into the toxic grip of motorization.

Diesel vehicles are 45% of the total fleet that already use up more than 90% of the diesel fuel. The policy to under tax diesel fuel and maintain a wide gap with petrol prices is largely responsible for this trend in the region.</p>
