Environmental expert to /NINA/: Sewage plants are behind the spread of sulfur gas in the atmosphere of the capital, Baghdad

Environmental expert Alaa Hashem Al-Badaran attributed the reasons for the spread of sulfur gases in the atmosphere of the capital, Baghdad, to the neglect and abandonment of heavy sewage basins that have been accumulating for long periods in the capital and not treating them, denying that power stations are behind the spread of sulfur gases in the atmosphere. Al-Badran said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency (NINA) that "what is known about sulfur gases and their emissions is either due to emissions from the ground or due to problems in heavy sewage pipes if they are not treated and left in open places, especially sulfur oxide as is found in oil field emissions, especially hydrogen gas that can explode and burn. He added: To say that power plants and their gases are the cause, we say yes there are gases but not to this extent and they are not new, but the failure to treat heavy sewage pipe water and more than 40 meters per second, which is very large, is the primary reason for the spread of s ulfur in the atmosphere, in addition to the treatment stations being unequal, as part is treated and part is returned to the rivers, and this is the main problem in the city center and is the primary factor in this problem." The capital, Baghdad, is witnessing an atmosphere polluted with sulfur gas emissions for the second week in a row, which has caused suffocation cases among residents.
