33,000 Iranians die annually due to air pollution

According to the Fars News Agency, Hamid Reza Taghvaei Najib, an environmental expert, said on the Persian morning program of Jam Jam Network: “Polluted air is air in which there are one or more pollutants and according to their concentration, they can be harmful to humans and the environment.” And have adverse effects.

He continued: The air is clean without unpleasant odors and harmful waves of clean air. When the air is polluted, poison and danger are created for all groups, but for sensitive groups, this danger is felt more.

The environmental expert added: “Index of clean air is a simplification of scientific concepts and the number of this index comes from a formula that has a concentration of each pollutant based on micrograms per cubic meter and becomes a number that we can measure the amount of pollution.” Let’s analyze.

“When our origins are in man-made industries, such as the combustion and fueling of power plants and refineries, it is more common in metropolitan areas,” Taqvai said. In cities like Ahvaz, pollution is mostly caused by fine dust in the air, which can be due to some mismanagement in the water debate, which is considered to be of human origin.

The environmental expert continued: “Vegetation can be effective in discussing air pollution with the origin of fine dust, but in practice, vegetation can not have much effect on air pollution caused by combustion.”

He said: “Sometimes air purifiers are advertised, most of which have a commercial dimension and have no scientific value, and some of them that are more effective can be effective in a limited environment with a small percentage.” Due to the volume of air around us, plants can not respond to that volume of pollution.

Taqvaei said: “In the field of air pollution, each city has its own issues for its own city, and the policies of cities can not be used for each other, but appropriate decisions must be made based on the source of pollution.”

The environmental expert said: “The problem of air pollution is a challenge that has been challenged by humans for many years and now more than 300,000 people die every year in continental Europe due to air pollution and in Iran this figure is more than It reaches 33 thousand people.

“A recent study shows that coronas can be exacerbated in cities with air pollution,” he said.

Taqvaee added: “The first step to fight air pollution is to refine and source it in any area.” It should be investigated where air pollutants come from and what causes them.

This environmental expert noted: For example, in the city of Arak, we face more industrial problems, and in cities whose power plants are close to the urban environment, we have seen the problem of sulfur air pollution. In Tehran, most pollution is caused by incomplete fuel of cars.
