Shocking statistics: 6,000 Tehran residents died due to air pollution
Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani revealed alarming data: over the past year, air pollution in the Iranian capital claimed the lives of 6,000 people. This dramatic figure reflects the scale of the environmental crisis facing the multimillion-population city.
As reported by TUT.AZ with reference to the Telegram channel "Free Iran," the information was disseminated by the Human Rights Activists in Iran group - HRANA.
In his speech, the mayor acknowledged serious problems in coordination between various government structures in implementing environmental programs. Human rights organizations note that the authorities' inaction in addressing the air pollution problem directly violates the constitutional rights of Iranian citizens to health and a favorable environment.
