Despite recommendations recently submitted by the Municipal Council to the Riyadh Municipality to relocate these factories that have caused suffering to those living near them, pointing out that these factories have licenses from the municipality and therefore the Municipal Council thought of providing alternative lands for them away from residents. The Council also issued recommendations to oblige cement and gypsum factories in southern Riyadh to meet international standards after many complaints from residents of nearby neighborhoods. <\/p>\n<p>Too many health centers<\/p>\n<p>Residents in the area complained about what they called (the greed of the factories and the limited attention to the principle of profitability), disregarding the rights and duties incumbent upon them towards the surrounding areas and the citizens living in them, explaining that the principle of afforestation to clear the air, despite its low costs, was within narrow limits and has recently faded away.  <\/p>\n<p>Citizen Rams Al-Shehri, an old resident of the neighborhood, stresses the importance of the responsible authorities\u201d attention to the demands of the affected residents of the neighborhood from the principle of prevention before injury. Al-Shehri says: \"The damage of the factories is clearly visible, and this is evident from the frequent spread of private health centers specialized in treating chest diseases and allergies in the neighborhood, not to mention the increased congestion and inconvenience around the clock in the streets and entrances of the neighborhood by the workers of the factory trucks in loading and unloading even outside the official working hours of the factory, pointing out the negative impact of the factory's presence on residential and commercial land prices in the neighborhoods near the cement factory, and denies Al-Shehri.<br \/>\n Next to neighborhoods .<br \/>\nCitizen Abdulkarim Al-Yousef points to the impact of the dust flying from the factory on the vegetation in the neighborhood and says: \u201dOne of the most serious negatives of the cement industry is the bad impact on the environment and the threat to the surrounding area through the discharges released by the industrial units from gaseous and liquid waste, which has a negative impact on vegetation, such as the accumulation of a thick layer of cement dust on tree leaves, which leads to poor production of crops, in addition to the risk of human poisoning when consumed, as well as the animal when consuming herbs. \u201dPeople are dying slowly in front of the sight of the official authorities without taking any measures to save them, as the neighborhoods near the factory have turned into an infested area in which allergies and asthma diseases spread at frightening rates that exceed the rates of areas far from the factories, as well as the lack of cleanliness in the streets and houses of the neighborhood,\u201d he explains, \u201dIt is rare to find a house in the neighborhood that does not complain about the dirtiness of its yards because of the factory's dust.\" <\/p>\n<p>The role of environmental organizations<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Mr. Abdullah Al-Sahli, Director of Rong Al-Omran Real Estate Foundation, explained, \u201dAlthough the pollution in the neighborhoods adjacent to the cement factory has reached dangerous levels, this has not affected the prices of residential and commercial land in the neighborhoods, pointing out that \u201dno one denies the role played by the Riyadh Cement Factory in the development of the city of Riyadh, but in the development of the Kingdom as a whole, especially at a time when there was no other, and this is indisputable and agreed upon by everyone, but the issue is negative aspects and even catastrophic and environmental damage caused by it and caused damage that affected the lives of citizens, especially the surrounding neighborhoods through gas and dust escalation. In the midst of these damages, we did not find anyone moving a finger to address the presence of this factory, which was encroached upon by urbanization, and became in the middle of it \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Omar Saleh Al-Aubthani, owner of Al-Aubthani office, says: \u201dThe cement factory is one of the environmental pollutants that cause many issues for the residents living around that factory, if we notice that environmental associations were able to close these factories in many developed countries and we, unfortunately, are still accepting the establishment of cement factories with prior knowledge of their harms. \u201dOfficials should take even simple measures to ease the pressure on residents, as large factories have always blamed small factories and barns for air pollution, which is a pretext for them to continue to harm citizens.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Lung cancer<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Dr. Adel Ahmed - Khalidiya Clinic - confirms that the percentage of patients with asthma and allergies is constantly increasing compared to the surrounding neighborhoods and explains, \u201dCement dust is an irritant to the respiratory system and inhaling it for a long time leads to the development of pulmonary ossification, chronic bronchitis, as well as bronchial asthma, expansion of the lungs, and in many cases, lung cancer. These diseases increase in areas where the cement industry is concentrated, whose fumes may reach up to 3 kilometers axial, and this disease increases significantly in children at a rate almost double that of adults, and medical studies confirm that carbon monoxide leads to poisoning, while sulfur dioxide for cough and allergies, while ground nitrogen has a carcinogenic effect, while fumes lead to suffocation. According to some studies, dust from cement factories causes extensive environmental damage to land, crops, seabeds and rivers.<br \/>\n____________________________________________________<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 3<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">Minutes<\/span><\/span>\u0623\u0645\u0644\u0627\u0643 \u062a\u0637\u0631\u0642 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633\u0643\u0648\u062a \u0639\u0646\u0647 \u0623\u0636\u0631\u0627\u0631 \u0635\u062d\u064a\u0629 \u062e\u0637\u064a\u0631\u0629 \u0644\u062a\u0648\u0627\u062c\u062f \u0645\u0635\u0627\u0646\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0633\u0645\u0646\u062a \u062f\u0627\u062e\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0637\u0627\u0642 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0643\u0646\u064a \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0633\u0627\u0633\u064a\u0629 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u062a\u0647\u0627\u0628\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0626\u0629 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0635\u062f\u0631 \u0623\u0628\u0631\u0632 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0645\u0631\u0627\u0636 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0635\u0627\u0646\u0639 \u062a\u0624\u062b\u0631 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u063a\u0637\u0627\u0621 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0628\u0627\u062a\u064a \u0648\u062a\u062d\u0631\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0648\u0627\u0626\u0644 \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0627\u0633\u062a\u0645\u062a\u0627\u0639 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u062d\u062f\u0627\u0626\u0642 \u062f\u0627\u062e\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u062d\u064a\u0627\u0621 \u0622\u062b\u0627\u0631 \u0633\u0644\u0628\u064a\u0629 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0633\u0639\u0627\u0631 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0623\u062d\u064a\u0627\u0621 \u063a\u064a\u0631 \u0645\u0646\u0627\u0633\u0628\u0629 \u0644\u0644\u0639\u064a\u0634 \u0627\u0644\u0635\u062d\u064a . \u063a\u0628\u0627\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0635\u0627\u0646\u0639 \u064a\u0635\u0644 \u0625\u0644\u0649 5 \u0643\u0644\u0645 \u0645\u062d\u0648\u0631\u064a . \u062a\u062d\u0642\u064a\u0642 \/ \u062c\u0646\u0648\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u064a\u0627\u0636 \u0648\u0628\u0627\u0644\u062a\u062d\u062f\u064a\u062f \u0639\u0644\u0649 &#8230;
