Head of Iran's Environment Protection Organization (IEPO) had earlier said that Tehran's air pollution was still at an alarming level due to the accumulation of pollutants and the pattern of air inversion. also, Iran makes its own motor fuel with only minimal desulfurization and minimal removal of heavy metals According to Mohammad Javad Mohammadizadeh, the organization's researchers were trying to find ways to shake up the atmosphere to produce rain or create artificial wind corridors to blow the thick haze away. Tehran Governor General Morteza Tamaddon also said that the IEPO was designing ventilation and air conditioner systems to be installed in about a hundred polluted spots of the capital. |
