Another result of the massive relocation of manufacturing activities is the reduced use of water and energy, including petroleum products and electricity. We have also been able to tackle pollution of the water courses and the sea. Farming activities that pollute water courses have either been controlled or removed. Sewage treatment and disposal is the subjact of a massive engineering and funding program. This subject is now on the top of Government s agenda.
Air pollution is now almost entirely a result of vehicle mevements.
The battle against air-pollution is therefore being fought om two fronts. One is the reduction on the toxic contents of vehicle emissions and then the reduction of irritants in the emissions. The other battle is to reduce the reliance on the internal combustion engine. The most acute air pollution problem at street level. New road projects have generally caught up with the growth of vehicles.
