Tehran on the Brink of Disaster: Smog and Water Shortage Paralyze the City

Tehran stands on the verge of an ecological disaster due to critical smog levels and the threat of water shortages. This is the main message of the material published by The Munich Eye.

According to the IQ Air Institute, Tehran tops the ranking of the most polluted cities in the world with an international air pollution index of 233.

The city authorities have declared a state of emergency due to rising pollution levels and water shortages. The Ministry of Health warns of health risks for residents due to high pollution levels.

The main causes of the deteriorating ecological situation in Tehran are the use of cheap fuel and limitations of public transport, as well as a prolonged drought that has caused water shortages.

Emergency plans include the possibility of evacuation, investments in energy modernization, and the expansion of public transport. The President of Iran prefers to move the capital from Tehran due to the critical ecological situation.
