Agricultural waste burning causes air pollution
Dr. Tahseen Shoula, an expert in environment and climate, spoke about the causes of the black cloud phenomenon and confirmed that it is not solely caused by rice straw burning, but has multiple causes. He explained that among the main reasons are the burning of waste leftovers and their accumulation on irrigation channels and drains, in addition to vehicle emissions, foundries, brick kilns, and factories. He noted that current climatic conditions, such as low wind activity, high humidity, and high temperatures, contribute to increasing the formation of the black cloud. He called for continuous management of agricultural waste and raising farmers' awareness of how to dispose of it safely instead of burning, especially since the timing of the burning coincides with the end of summer.
