Iran Private Sector Urged to Help Curb Air Pollution

The Majlis has ratified an amendment to the Clean Air Act that calls on the private sector to contribute to measures aimed at curbing the worsening air pollution.
In the past, the act only required state bodies to introduce measures to address the worsening pollution problem.
Drawn up by the Department of Environment, as an integrated approach to check air pollution, the initial version of the Clean Air Act was passed by parliament in July 2017, after gathering dust in the previous legislature over a year. Since then the act has been amended several times in the hope of making it more effective.
