[PR17] Quality of transport fuels
Pressures

Key message
Good

The decrease in SO2 emissions from transport significantly affects the tightening of legislation concerning the concentration of sulfur in liquid fuels. Limited value of concentration of sulfur in fuels used in road transport in 2012 was not exceeded, the same applies to air and maritime transport. In the last several years the lead in liquid fuels (in road transport) is no longer present, the measurement of benzene are lower than the prescribed value.
