Well, honestly, the place that I visited, which was affected by pollution, was Tehran, the capital of Iran, my country, a city located in the north of the Iran. And it was really a polluted city, and the pollution was mostly in form of Polans and industrial Dosts. And I am definitely sure that two factors were really major causes of the pollution. The first factor was burning mazut by the government, a sort of fuel coming from oil, which is unpurified and non-purified. The second one is that the over-usage of private vehicles instead of public transport. And I feel like when I was there, I was really unmotivated and somehow feeling really upset and desperate, because I could really see that this city won’t have any future regarding the people’s health and other stuff to be a positive place for inhabitants. And the effects of the pollution were increasing the pulmonary diseases, heart diseases, and gastrointestinal diseases that were really having disastrous effects on individuals’ well-being.

Well, honestly, the place that I visited, which was affected by pollution, was Tehran, the capital of Iran, a city located in the north of Iran. It was really a polluted city, and the pollution was mostly in the form of smog and industrial dust. I am definitely sure that two factors were major causes of the pollution. The first factor was burning mazut by the government, a sort of fuel derived from oil, which is unrefined and non-purified. The second factor is the overuse of private vehicles instead of public transport. When I was there, I felt really unmotivated and somewhat upset and desperate because I could see that this city won't have any future regarding the people's health and other aspects to be a positive place for inhabitants. The effects of the pollution included an increase in pulmonary diseases, heart diseases, and gastrointestinal diseases, which were having disastrous effects on individuals' well-being.
