Green Iraq: Poor oversight worsens pollution
The report by the "Green Iraq" Observatory highlighted the weak environmental oversight of industrial activities in Baghdad, which has led to increased pollution levels in certain areas and a rise in disease rates among residents near these activities. The report noted that many industrial projects have been granted environmental permits but are not subjected to regular inspection visits, thereby increasing the likelihood of water and air pollution. The commission recommended implementing strict mechanisms to control industrial projects, including reviewing all environmental approvals and establishing a joint committee between the Baghdad Investment Authority and the Ministry of Environment to ensure projects obtain environmental permits before starting work, with the aim of reducing pollution and protecting public health.
