埃及开始着手实施治理污染的计划，目标是为根治6O年代大型企业带来的工业污染打下基础。1997年世界银行的报告指出，由于大气中的铅、H氧化硫和灰尘的污染，造成每年大约1．5～1．7万名埃及婴儿夭折。报告指出，倾入尼罗河的工业和农业废物使得河水及河岸地区含有大量铬、铜等 Egypt began to implement plans to control pollution. The goal is to lay the groundwork for eradicating the industrial pollution brought by large enterprises in the sixties. The World Bank’s report in 1997 stated that approximately 1.5 to 17,000 Egyptian infants die each year due to pollution of lead, H sulfur oxides and dust in the atmosphere. The report pointed out that the industrial and agricultural wastes dumped into the Nile River cause rivers and riverbanks to contain large quantities of chromium, copper, etc.
