Some kind of conspiracy against Iran ;) ?
The BBC reported on Saturday that Mr. Hasan Aghajani, advisor to the health minister, had told an Iranian TV station that 4460 Iranians had died as a result of air pollution in the past year (1).
He also reported a 10% increase in emergency service calls, and a 30% increase in visits to the cardiology centers in Tehran.
Last Wednesday, schools and government buildings were shut down to avoid exposing the public to toxic levels of air pollution and to reduce traffic in many iranian cities, including: Tehran, Isfahan, and Ghom. Tehran was shut down again this past saturday under similar circumstances.
More than 22 million Iranians live in polluted cities and are subject to increased health risks resulting from air pollution (1).
