Environment pollutants constitute major issue [Archives:2005/850/Local News]

People throughout the world mark Environment Day as the fifth of June of every year. On this occasion, international reports on pollutants and smoke and their impacts on the Amazon were presented.

The widely spread pollutants cause several epidemics, among them are cancer and asthma.

A talk was conducted with Ibrahim Ahmad Sa'eed, Head of the Awareness Unit at the Council of the General Authority for Environment Protection for discussing pollutants and their effects on the human health.

Ibrahim Ahmad Sa'eed said the authority worked on maturing awareness of schoolboys, calling them “Environment bystanders” about the effects of pollutants on the human health.

He added the Cabinet issued a decision by the end of last May with respect to establishing the administration of the coastal areas so as to control the development process in Aden in specific and in Yemen in general.

Sa'eed noted the decision recommended the formation of 15-member committee, representing the governor, his deputy, public works and roads office and the Aden Free Zone.

He signaled out that Yemen can oblige investors not to spoil the nature of seas, beaches and mountains while implementing their projects though they are important.
