In an interview with SHARQ newspaper, Masoumeh Ebtekar, the director of the Environment Committee of Tehran City Council, has criticized the government’s laxity on the issue of air pollution in Tehran. Following are excerpts of Ebtekar’s statements: It has been five or six years that the government has stopped dealing with the issue of air pollution in Tehran. Ebtekar said that the administration holds meetings at Tehran Province Governor General’s Office over this issue, but the meetings have not yield any result. Decreasing working hours have also not improved the situation. Unfortunately a number of 34 air pollution stations in Tehran are either closed or their air pollution monitoring detectors are out of work. The people deserve a better situation than this and if the situation continues, 8.5 million citizens will face a very difficult time
