Air pollution in Saudi Arabia is one of the main environmental problems in this Middle Eastern country. |
Located in a rather dry area where rainfall rarely occurs, the country’s climate plays a very important factor to its air pollution problem. Apart from harmful emissions from vehicles that traverse the desert, the desert itself is a cause of air pollution. The particles blown by the wind coming from neighboring areas makes the air dusty but that dust is also accompanied by other types of pollutants. Emissions from cars, trucks and other types of vehicles are one of the major contributors of air pollution in Saudi Arabia. This steady increase of pollutants has a direct relationship to the socio-economic progress of the nation and its neighboring areas. As more and more businesses operate in Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries, more and more people move into major cities in the Middle East. This shift in population is one of the reasons why air pollution in Saudi Arabia is worst compared to decades ago.
The sad thing about it is that many people are not as bothered about air pollution the way they should be. With economic growth and making a lot of money topping our list, the environment always has to take the backseat. This means that people have learned how to live in a polluted place without getting irritated by it. This is now an established fact of life, not only for adults but for children as well.
The Saudi Arabian government however is doing its best to alleviate air pollution but it will take much time before people can feel the changes in the air.
