The air quality in the capital is currently in the “red zone”, indicating dangerous conditions.

Authorities are urging all residents, especially the elderly, children, heart and lung disease patients, and pregnant women, to remain indoors if possible.

Data from Tehran’s air quality monitoring stations reveal that 23 areaqs are in the red zone, meaning unhealthy for all age groups, while other areas are in the orange and yellow zones, based on the color-coding by the Air Quality Control Company.
