Local ministers assess air pollution efforts
The Ministry of Local Development and Environment, led by Dr. Manal El Ashry, confirmed that it is implementing a comprehensive plan to address severe air pollution episodes during the autumn season. The plan includes early monitoring, rapid intervention, field inspections, and community awareness campaigns. Results as of October 2026 show a 24.8% decrease in fire points compared to the previous year, with 486 identified fire points in major governorates versus 647 last year. The ministry continues to monitor factories and take legal actions against violators. Additionally, around 1.2 million tons of rice straw and 76% of the maize crop have been collected, helping to prevent pollutant emissions estimated at 16,611 tons. Its efforts also include vehicle inspections and testing, as well as an expanded awareness campaign—all aimed at reducing pollution sources and sustainably improving air quality.
