- Abstract
The article focuses on the report that the decline in the use of leaded petrol in Pakistan had resulted in declines in children's blood lead levels. There are four refineries in Pakistan as of June 2003, producing petrol: Pakistan Refinery Ltd., National Refinery Ltd., Attock Refinery Ltd. and Pak-Arab Refinery Ltd. (PARCO). PARCO started production in Pakistan in September 2000 with petrol containing a bare minimum of lead and from July 2001 moved to production of lead-free petrol.
