Ilam - The deputy for health at Ilam University of Medical Sciences stressed the need for regulatory bodies to enforce the required distance between livestock farms and residential areas in Ilam.

Ilam - The Health Vice President of the University of Medical Sciences of Ilam Province emphasized the necessity of the entry of regulatory bodies to the distance of livestock centers from the residential areas of Ilam.

In a conversation with Mehr reporter, Ali Niko Nihad said, referring to the issue of pollution of livestock units, "Unfortunately, some livestock and poultry units operate without observing the legal distance from residential areas, and this issue has caused severe air pollution and unpleasant odors for the residents."

Referring to the legal requirements of this area, he added: According to health regulations, these units must be at least one kilometer away from residential areas and water bodies, and in case of non-compliance, legal action will be taken against the violators.

Referring to people's complaints, this official clarified: In areas like Mehdiabad and Cheshme, there are problems caused by sewage and unpleasant smell, and according to the conditions of the country and legal restrictions, the follow-up to solve this problem continues.

Emphasizing the need to organize these units, he noted: The municipality and regulatory bodies should deal with people who operate without a license and without complying with health requirements, and introduce the matter to judicial authorities.

In the end, Niko Nohad emphasized: People's health is the first priority and no economic activity should be at the cost of harming citizens' health. We also ask people to report the matter to the relevant authorities if they see a violation so that the necessary follow-up can be done.
