Lead emissions from vehicles using leaded gasoline is a serious environmental problem in urban areas. While leaded gasoline has been completely phased out in many developed countries, it is still the predominant fuel grade in most developing countries. This paper presents an estimation of the health and economic benefits and costs of the transition from leaded to unleaded gasoline in Lebanon based on relevant dose-response functions and available country-specific data. Comparing the potential costs of the phase-out and the predicted benefits, it was concluded that such action is economically highly justified.
