DOE Striving to Contain Odor Along Tehran's Int'l Airport

Eliminating an unpleasant stench plaguing the road to Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport is high on the agenda of the Department of Environment's provincial office in Tehran.
The office, according to its director, Kiumars Kalantari, has identified 28 sources of pollution that contribute to the pungent smell. "They include slaughterhouses, animal farms, unlicensed waste incineration centers, Aradkouh garbage dump, urban waste sites and the stagnant water remaining in the dried-up Salour River," Kalantari told ISNA on Monday.
