Iran, Iran so far away, I couldn't get away (from that deadly smog)

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.
Most of the deaths were caused by heart attacks and respiratory illnesses brought on by smog, they said.
The scale of the problem led one senior official to say living in the Iranian capital was like "collective suicide". "
