Iran: quality

Only during Oct. 23-Nov. 21, 2006, about 3,600 people in the capital have died of air pollution, either directly or indirectly says Fathollah Ommi, the executor of the comprehensive plan to reduce Tehran’s air pollution.
Ommi referred to the environmental crisis as fatal and akin to collective suicide, ISNA reported.
Mohammad Hadi Haidarzadeh, advisor to Tehran’s mayor for environmental affairs said Tehran’s air pollution control requires a huge revolution in the thinking of all officials.
instead of Clean Air Day, Clean Air Week will be marked during January 11-19.
He emphasized that in the past year, no serious action has been taken regarding the comprehensive plan and consequently a reduction in Tehran’s air pollution cannot be expected.
