The document discusses road transport and air pollution in Georgia. It describes Georgia's vehicle fleet and trends in fuel consumption from transport. It also outlines limits on ingredients in petrol, including reductions in lead, benzene, aromatic hydrocarbons, and sulphur content over time. The document notes emissions from the transport sector and their share of total emissions in Georgia in 2009. It concludes by listing some positive changes to improve transport and reduce emissions, such as improved public transport and new traffic systems.
