Air pollution at a local level, particularly in urban areas, is an immediate and long-term health hazard. Polluted air not only compromises human health – increased hospital admissions due to respiratory and cardiovascular problems – it also afflicts plants, animals and even buildings. Local air pollutants are primarily generated in the transport, heating and power generation sectors. 

Studies consistently demonstrate that LPG with its short, simple molecular structure pollutes less than the other traditional automotive fuels.

With a view to tackling the problem of urban pollution, major urban centres such as London, Milan and Berlin have put in place systems rewarding the use of alternative fuels such as LPG in the form of exemption from congestion charges.
