Government ramps up efforts against Black Cloud
The Ministry of Local Development and Environment announced that it has implemented an integrated plan to address the seasonal phenomenon of the Black Cloud during the autumn season, which causes air pollution as a result of rice straw burning. The early warning system managed to detect 486 burning points in the Greater Cairo, Delta, and Assiut governorates between September 1 and October 7, reflecting a reduction of 24.8% compared to the same period last year. Additionally, 173 factory smokestacks were monitored, with measures taken against 81 cases of exceeding legal limits and violations issued to 44 establishments. A total of 1,216,075 tons of rice straw were collected, contributing to a reduction in emissions by 16,611 tons. Furthermore, the ministry carried out campaigns to inspect vehicles and facilitate legal compliance, while also focusing on awareness-raising and community participation to reduce pollution sources during the season.
