Tehran drowned in smog by Zivka Deleva

They say everything that is forced can be dangerous. For two days, innocent people are hardly breathing in the Iran's capital Tehran because the pollution levels have gone too far. This wouldn't be too serious if we avoid the fact that it happens for the second time in one month. The government brought a decision to declare two-day public holiday for schools, offices, industrial capacities. As numbers say, about 130 million dollars costs each holiday for the city. Tehran is one of the most polluted cities in the world, which costs huge health problems for its citizens. One of the basic factors for the pollution is the quickly growing city which today has more than 12 millio! n people. Its been some time already and the World Health Organization alarms the government that some effort must be taken for the reducing of the problem. There are a lot of vehicles in the metropolis. The numbers are menacing- about 1.4 million vehicles in the city releases about 5 million tones of carbon dioxide in the air. Tehran joins the top three group consisted of Los Angeles and Mexico City, which also struggle with the bad air. Little wind can enter the city, due to the three sited mountain covering. Also, the high temperatures make easier the transformation of pollutants into ozone.   One of the government's mission how to handle the bitter problem is to introduce the natural gas a basic for the heating system. They also try to improve the public transportation so people would use less cars. The green is the needed philosophy in this Asian country.
