from two main aspects, firstly, the residential fabric which is penetrated in to the agri<strong>cultural</strong> l<strong>and</strong>, caused<br />
various types of pollution in the environment, <strong>and</strong> secondly, its establishment in the southern edge of<br />
Tehran.<br />
Increasing conversion of agri<strong>cultural</strong> l<strong>and</strong>s to residential <strong>and</strong> industrial construction occurred, while the<br />
