A Tasnim reporter's follow-up with the traffic police shows that since the beginning of this year, more than 20,000 cars have been confiscated in Tehran due to smoke emissions.
This figure, along with expert warnings about the contribution of vehicles in pollutant emissions, show that the technical control of cars is still one of the most important issues in the management of air pollution in the capital.
