Air Pollution Response System Launches in Fall 2026
Dr. Manal Abdel, Minister of Local Development and the Environment, announced the launch of the system to confront severe air pollution episodes, known as "Black Cloud," starting in autumn 2026. The plan is based on early weather assessments and continuous monitoring of emission sources, aiming for swift intervention before pollution worsens. It is expected that the percentage of hours with favorable conditions for pollutant concentrations will increase to 37% during autumn 2026, compared to 33% last year. This underscores the need for intensified monitoring and inspections of pollution sources, especially the burning of rice straw and agricultural waste, as well as polluting industries. The plan includes awareness campaigns, increased inspection teams, coordination among relevant authorities, and the activation of an emergency operations center to monitor reports 24/7, all aimed at reducing pollution sources, protecting air quality, and ensuring a quick and effective response.
