Integrated HSE Framework to Mitigate Air Pollution: Emphasis on Strict Enforcement of the \u201cClean Air Act\u201d and Rigorous Auditing of Industrial and Mobile Emission Sources<\/strong><\/h3>

Deputy Head for Human Environment at the Department of Environment (DoE) details the strategic roadmap for seasonal pollution risk management, dust hotspot stabilization, mandatory end-of-life vehicle scrappage, and compliance with climate adaptation targets under the 7th National Development Plan.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>

TEHRAN \u2013 HSE Information Portal: Regulating air quality indicators and safeguarding public and occupational health fundamentally rely on full compliance with mandates outlined in the Clean Air Act. The Department of Environment (DoE) has announced the implementation of specialized seasonal monitoring protocols, the revival of the vehicle scrappage program, the enforcement of stringent compliance standards on stationary industrial sources, and the execution of national climate change adaptation strategies.<\/p>

Dr. Sedigheh Torabi, Deputy Head for Human Environment at the Department of Environment, outlined the national roadmap for air pollution monitoring and abatement. She characterized urban air pollution as a critical challenge to public health and environmental safety, underscoring the necessity of differentiating seasonal risk matrices.<\/p>

1. Seasonal Risk Assessment and Particulate Matter (Dust Storm) Monitoring<\/strong><\/h4>

Analyzing seasonal pollutant behavior, the Deputy Head stated:<\/p>

\u201cRisk assessment and pollution management must follow a differentiated, bi-annual strategy. During the first half of the year, priority is given to monitoring fugitive mineral dust and coarse particulate matter () from wind erosion hotspots. In contrast, during the second half of the year\u2014exacerbated by thermal inversion phenomena\u2014combustion emissions, vehicular exhaust, and secondary aerosols from stationary and mobile sources become the primary environmental and occupational safety concerns.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>

She noted that while improved seasonal precipitation across various regions has contributed to temporary soil stabilization, the DoE continues to lead the National Task Force on Combating Sand and Dust Storms (SDS) in coordination with key stakeholders (the Natural Resources and Watershed Management Organization, Ministry of Agriculture-Jahad, Iran Meteorological Organization, and Ministry of Health). Initiatives focus on allocating dedicated budgets for identifying, biologically stabilizing, and mechanically managing wind erosion hotspots. She also emphasized that unsustainable industrial expansion and land degradation remain major drivers accelerating soil erosion.<\/p>

2. Environmental & Safety Mandates for Mobile Emission Sources: Fleet Modernization and Clean Transit<\/strong><\/h4>

Regarding mobile emission management, Dr. Torabi highlighted the critical impact of fuel specifications and the technical condition of industrial and urban fleets:<\/p>
