This is an amazing number- over 10,000 people die a year because of poor air quality in Iran.
"Air pollution is estimated to have killed nearly 10,000 people in Tehran over a one-year period, including 3,600 in a month, Iranian officials say.

The scale of the problem led one senior official to say living in the Iranian capital was like "collective suicide". "
