The Department of Environment announced plans to install 16 dust monitoring stations in southern and southeastern regions of the country. "The provinces of Sistan-Baluchestan, Kerman, South Khorasan and Hormozgan are gripped by sand and dust storms for much of the year while the existing observation stations are hardly sufficient in proportion with the area and population of the regions," director of the DOE's monitoring office Shina Ansari said in a talk with ISNA.
Unfortunately, she added, each of these provinces has at most two stations at present which do not meet their needs.
