Abstract

This paper reviews the information available on lead pollution in Saudi Arabia. Comparison with some information from some countries is made. It was found that the atmospheric lead concentration in some cities in Saudi Arabia exceeds the European and American standards. The lead level in the blood of Saudi School children is reported. This is found to be within the international range. The Saudi plan for lead phasedown is stated. Alternatives for octane enhancement and the impact of lead phasedown on the Saudi environment are discussed. It is concluded that lead phasedown will significantly improve the environment's quality.
