Industrial development in the 1960s and 1970s has had a very serious impact on the quality of air Egyptians now breathe. Industrial emissions, along with emissions of motor vehicles, now pose a serious health hazard to virtually the entire Egyptian populace. In terms of suspended particle matter. Egypt currently does not meet World Health organization (WHO) standards. In fact, Cairo has the second largest levels of suspended particle matter in its air after Mexico City. This simply means that Caireans are subject to much higher levels of airborne dust and smoke than virtually the world's largest industrial producers. Why? Primarily, because in the 1960s and 1970s most industrial facilities were built with virtually no environmental safeguards. Cement factories were built with no filters for their chimneys, Egypt's aluminum smelter to date spills its industrial waste into the air and water with limited control and virtually all of Egyptian industry emits industrial gases into the air with minimal safeguards . This paper is about the adverse consequences industrial development has had on the environment in Egypt. It tracks developments in the air pollution problem and discusses some possible suggestions to these looming problems. It also reviews how the air pollution problem in Egypt became so acute and what some of the health consequences are to Egyptians currently and how they are likely to be affected in the future. |
