Iran Air Pollution

Iran shut schools and apologised to tourists Monday as its cities were hit by choking levels of air pollution.

Iran postponed two premier league football matches on Sunday, state media said, as air pollution more than twice the acceptable level persisted in the capital.

Iran is set to close schools for two days in Tehran, state media said today, following air pollution three times the acceptable level that has blanketed the city in smog.

Air pollution in Iran's capital hit its worst level -- for a day without a sandstorm -- in at least nine months today, prompting warnings that all citizens should stay indoors.

Schools, universities and government offices will be closed in Iran's capital Tehran on Tuesday and Wednesday because of high air pollution, the state news agency reported on Monday.
