Today, Rwanda Environment Management Authority concluded its media tour aimed at raising public awareness on ozone layer protection and air quality at the Musanze Automobile Inspection Center. #Environmental Journalists observed firsthand how vehicle smoke emissions are tested during inspection.

As part of the process, vehicles receive safety certificates only if they meet two key requirements: mechanical safety and environmental safety.

Motorcycles will also be subjected to environmental safety testing, as they have been identified as the highest contributors to atmospheric pollution among vehicles.

Overall, the transport sector remains the leading source of pollution, surpassing even manufacturing industries, which also emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
