Abstract

Mozambique has been experiencing several environmental pollution problems due to liquid waste from car washing on public roads in 'corners' commonly known as “Car Wash”. In order to assess the level of knowledge and information of car washers regarding environmental legislation and the possible impacts arising therefrom, in order to propose methodological actions with a view to minimizing environmental pollution, a participatory study was carried out.
