Tehran authorities forced to temporarily close dozens of factories over pollution violations; MP projects daily loss of 800 billion rials
Deputy Head of Iran's Environment Protection Organization (IEPO) Ali-Mohammad Shaeri told the Mehr News Agency ...And if you can't believe Mehr News Agency who can you believe?... that as part of the measures taken to control the situation, Tehran's main cement factory was allowed to use just 40% of its capacity until further notice. One MP projected that the daily loss to the Iranian economy stood at 800 billion rials (roughly $65 million). The extreme pollution levels also prompted the temporary closure of schools, universities and government offices in the Iranian capital last week. Hospitals and banks remained open, but were placed on alert. | |
