Manal Awad Tracks Fire Points and Chimneys
The report highlighted efforts to combat severe air pollution episodes during the first half of September, where various sources of pollution were monitored and analyzed. Over 242,000 tons of agricultural residues, such as rice straw, were collected, and more than 31,000 acres of corn were harvested to reduce open burning and direct waste toward economic utilization. A total of 131 burning points were monitored, with rapid response teams assigned to follow up, as well as inspections of 173 chimneys across 32 industrial facilities, recording 26 violations of legal limits. These efforts have prevented approximately 3,908 tons of pollutants and achieved regulation and control over emission sources. Additionally, awareness campaigns and seminars were conducted to educate citizens and farmers about the importance of reducing open burning, while strengthening monitoring and rapid response systems to ensure improved air quality and community health.
