🌍

Contexto cultural

Tehran's geography (surrounded by the Alborz mountains) creates a 'bowl' effect that traps air pollution, especially during winter inversions. In southern Iran, 'آلودگی هوا' is often caused by 'ریزگردها' (dust storms) from neighboring countries, rather than just car exhaust. Modern poets often use the 'polluted air' as a metaphor for social or political stagnation. The 'Air Quality Index' (شاخص کیفیت هوا) is a daily part of the news cycle, similar to the stock market in other countries.
