Automotive air pollution will intensify with increasing urbanization a
nd the rapid pace of motorization in developing countries. Without eff
ective measures to control automotive air pollution, 300-400 million c
ity dwellers in developing countries will become exposed to unhealthy
and dangerous levels of motor vehicle related air pollution by the yea
r 2000. Administratively simple measures that encourage the use of ene
rgy efficient and environmentally efficient vehicles, cleaner fuels an
d better traffic management appear to be the most promising approach t
o controlling vehicle pollutant emissions in developing countries. The
se measures should be reinforced by effective regulatory, pricing and
taxation policies, sound land use planning and environmentally compati
ble public transportation systems.
