TEHRAN – In response to a significant increase in air pollution levels in the capital, an emergency session of the Air Pollution Emergency Committee is scheduled for tonight at the Tehran Governor’s Office. The urgent meeting aims to assess the current environmental conditions and determine necessary public health measures.
Key Metrics Prompt Action
Official reports indicate that Tehran’s air quality has reached concerning levels. The primary pollutant, fine particulate matter (PM2.5), has been recorded at an index of 129, placing the city’s air quality in the “unhealthy for sensitive groups” category. Furthermore, air pollution indices in seven districts of the capital have surged to 160, entering the “red” or “unhealthy for all groups” status, accelerating the need for decisive governmental intervention.
Focus on Educational Institutions

The decision, which rests with the committee, is highly anticipated by residents and will be based on the comprehensive review of environmental data during the tonight’s session.
