In addition, 5-7-year long-term programs have been prepared to prevent the spread of gas pollutants into the environment, he said.
According to Bahmannia, the spread of about 180 million tons of pollutants into the environment was prevented in Iran over the last Iranian year in Iran (from March 20, 2020, through March 20, 2021).
The official noted that the companies operating under the auspices of the Ministry of Petroleum of Iran are taking steps in the direction to protect the environment.
