Is fuel oil allowed to industries in Tehran?

Fars News Agency Social Group, We left a polluted November behind. Air pollution usually increases in the second half of the year.

The development of public transportation and fleet modernization can play an important role in reducing air pollution because, according to some experts, the main culprits of air pollution are mobile sources in Tehran.

Seyed Jafar Tashkari Hashemi, the head of the Civil Engineering and Transportation Commission of the Tehran City Council, says in this regard: Over the years, these buses have been deteriorating.

The head of the Civil Engineering and Transportation Commission of the Tehran City Council continued: “We are negotiating with domestic car companies so that we can supply these cars to the city of Tehran;” Also, the very worn out fleet of Tehran must be renovated.
Regarding the renovation of taxis in Tehran, Tashkari Hashemi says: “Almost 50% of the taxi fleet in Tehran is worn out. About 35,000 taxis in Tehran have reached the age of obsolescence and we are trying to renovate 7,000 taxis.”

Air pollution in Tehran is a major challenge and solving this problem requires interdisciplinary work. The Clean Air Act specifies the duties of all devices.

Ali Roshani, the head of Tehran’s Environmental Protection Department, says in this regard: “More than 20 agencies have duties according to the Clean Air Law, and all mandatory agencies must work to perform their duties;” Of course, coordination between all agencies at the national level must take place to address this environmental challenge.

According to the official, the problem of air pollution is not solved overnight, some solutions to reduce air pollution in the long run will help solve this problem, such as improving the quality of fuel and the use of hybrid vehicles.

The head of Tehran’s environmental protection department emphasized: “We have about 14 to 15 patrol teams that visit all industrial units around the clock. Since November 1, the number of environmental monitors has increased, and during this time we have controlled and warned many polluting units.” .

He continued: “According to the Clean Air Law, the Environment Organization can do some monitoring work.” We have working groups at the level of the General Department of Environment and Tehran province, we have even included the forces of the Environment Guard in this category; The forces that are supposed to protect natural areas are currently working to control pollution in the industrial sector.

Regarding the possibility of using high-sulfur diesel in the coming months, he said: “According to the approach of the Environment Organization, no power plant should use fuel oil and high-sulfur diesel, and the environment will deal with violating units.”

Tehran governor’s officials emphasize that fuel oil burning is not allowed even at the cost of closing down industries.

Tehran Governor Mohsen Mansouri says: “We were supposed to impose restrictions, but fortunately, due to the wind, the air pollution index has decreased and we do not need any restrictions at the moment.”

The governor of Tehran continued: “Around Tehran, we do not allow the burning of fuel oil even at the cost of closing down industries, and we vote in favor of the environment between the duality of environment and industry.”

According to the governor of Tehran, in case of increased pollution, the ban on diesel vehicles will be enforced; At the same time, the traffic police must prevent the movement of all motorcycles and smoky vehicles without a technical inspection.

He referred to the issue of clean air law and said: all centers and devices should monitor to prevent air pollution and if there are any shortcomings, take action to eliminate them.

The governor of Tehran emphasized that the duties of all departments to solve the problem of air pollution have been determined and the regulations for emergency situations have been determined. .

Traffic and environmental pollution have reduced the quality of life in the metropolis. Mojtaba Shafiei, deputy mayor of Tehran, said: “The impact of transportation on air pollution, physical and mental health of citizens is undeniable.” When a person with high spirits and energy enters the network of city roads, with the peak of morning traffic, he loses his energy and is mentally damaged; Air and noise pollution are caused at this time.

Shafiei continued: “Traffic congestion and environmental pollution have reduced the quality of life in the metropolis. We, the officials in the field of traffic transportation, consider many of this problem as a result of our actions and we should try to solve the problem with the help of citizens.” It is hoped that the empathy between the municipality and the parliament will create new financial resources for the city so that we can improve the problems that have intensified in the past to an acceptable level.

Deputy Minister of Transportation and Traffic of Tehran Municipality, while pointing to projects that have not been exploited in the past, said: “A number of projects have made significant progress in the past, but now they have been stopped and by exploiting them, there will be openings in roads and public transportation.” It is thought that in a short period of six months, citizens will be able to make a difference

According to this report, the only scientific and principled solution to eliminate traffic and air pollution is to increase the share of public transportation in Tehran. The inversion phenomenon increases air pollution in the second half of the year. Statistics of Clean Days in previous years show that projects such as floating the opening hours of government and private agencies and offices, creating a traffic plan, even and odd plan and public closure have not been able to solve the problem of traffic and pollution in Tehran.

In the matter of air and traffic pollution, all the responsible agencies must be involved in order to solve this problem, otherwise you will not be able to solve this problem by an organization or institution. Of course, the government has given the green light in this regard.
