Scary prediction from the summer of 1403

According to the online economy report, quoted by Tasnim, Sahar Tajbakhsh Muslim reminded: According to the guidelines of the Clean Air Law, the Meteorological Organization has tasks related to air pollution, such as that the Meteorological Organization must maintain stable conditions in cities that are are suffering from air pollution, inform the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Health should form an emergency committee and decisions related to closures etc. should be made in this committee.

He added: In this regard, activities have been carried out in the Meteorological Organization, such as, with the help of the Research Institute of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences, a model has been launched that shows the concentration of atmospheric pollutants and has been named as a pollution forecasting and warning system for 10 metropolises.

He added: In order to receive more accurate data from this meteorological model, information related to the emission list related to polluting sources in cities with high population density such as Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan, Mashhad, Karaj, Ahvaz, Arak, Shiraz, Qom and Kermanshah should be obtained. is to be obtained from the Environmental Protection Organization. This information should be up-to-date, while our current information is from 2016, and certainly the mobile and fixed sources of air pollution have changed in these few years.

According to Tajbakhsh, their information should be updated so that we have more accurate outputs of the concentration of atmospheric pollutants.

The head of the Meteorological Organization pointed out that this system is completely native and active on the web in the forecasting center of the Meteorological Organization, and said: In the first phase, this system measures the concentration of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and volatile organic hydrocarbons (VOCs) pollutants. predicts sulfur oxides (SOx) and particulate matter (PM).

Regarding the pollution conditions, Tajbakhsh said that weather patterns show stable conditions until the beginning of January, and added: Normally, in these time periods, there are air pollution problems in cities like Tehran, and this situation remains the same this year.

He stated: The conditions of atmospheric pollutants in the metropolises have occurred in this period and will continue, but if this period is exceeded and these atmospheric conditions pass through the country, the weather patterns will change seriously, which may or may not be accompanied by rain. .

The head of the Meteorological Organization also reminded that in Mehr this year the rainfall was more than normal, but in the months of November and December the rainfall was less than normal. Water resources in many cities will not be sustainable.

Tajbakhsh added: If this situation continues and we do not have enough snow reserves in the winter, we will definitely face a serious water problem in the summer of next year.
