Installation of catalytic converters in cars may become obligatory by law – Kakha Kuchava, Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee of Environment Protection and Natural Resources stated.

According to Kuchava, there are cases when car owners install catalytic converters to undergo technical inspection and then remove them. However, the ecologic situation in Tbilisi is what matters and concerns everybody.

Kuchava talked about a research provided by non-governmental organizations which says that besides faulty auto-park, quality of the fuel and industrial dust remain the main causes of air pollution.

He also stressed on the necessity to assess quality of the air in every district of Tbilisi and improve monitoring system.
