Kenya to join African countries switching to unleaded gas
Kenya - Over half of all petrol sold in sub-Saharan Africa is now unleaded and a "lead-free" continent is now in sight, with Kenya set to announce that it will switch to fully unleaded petrol by 2006, the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) said today.
Although much of Africa has lagged behind Western Europe and North America in phasing out leaded gasoline - mainly for technological reasons and a lack of awareness of the health risks - Kenya's decision to go fully unleaded is putting the continent on track to be lead-free by 2005.
