Air Pollution in Saudi Arabia + Outline Globally, Saudi Arabia is ranked 5th for air pollution (Taha np). The World Health Organization ranks Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, behind New Delhi, Lahore, Ulan and Ahvaz. Ahvaz, is the country most affected by air pollution. A point to keep in mind is that most of these countries are located in the Middle East and most of them are involved in oil production. Additionally, Mexico City, Beijing, and Moscow have also been reported to be among the most polluted cities in the world. This being the case, the authorities in Saudi Arabia are trying to combat air pollution by all means. However, the process faced many challenges. The fundamental reason why challenges in cleaning the air continue to persist is because the sources of this pollution are not clearly known. In March, after the publication of the World Health Organization report ranking Riyadh 5th in terms of air pollution, Prince Khalid bin Bandar, governor of Riyadh, established a committee that was supposed to examine the causes of this pollution (Taha np). In the same regard, the research in this article investigates the causes of pollution not only in Riyadh, but also in the rest of Saudi Arabia. This research also examines the impacts of air pollution in Saudi Arabia, then checks the measures put in place by the Arab government to counteract the contamination of the atmosphere. The causes of air pollution in Saudi Arabia are both natural, while others arise from human activity. Others come from another country (Breysse et al. 80). One of the main causes of air pollution in Saudi Arabia is the climatic condition of this country. Of course, Saudi Arabia receives little rainfall and occasional strong winds. These… middle of the paper… air pollution is both natural and man-made. Due to man-made causes, the government uses policies to regulate and ensure that emissions are at a minimum. However, due to natural causes, the government uses expertise to clean the atmosphere (Breysse et al. 81). In this regard, the Saudi Arabian government uses renewable scientific means such as solar technology to reduce the dependence on burning oil. In conclusion, Saudi Arabia's atmosphere is contaminated. This is due to several causes, including man-made activities, natural topology, and Saudi Arabia's climate. The impact of a polluted atmosphere has been devastating, especially in terms of the health of the people of Saudi Arabia. The Government of Saudi Arabia recognizes this problem and is committed to trying all possible methods to clean and minimize dangerous gas emissions into the atmosphere..
