Background: In this study, high school students in Tehran were selected to investigate the role of environmental education in the prevention and control of pollution. Objectives: In this regard, 10 high schools from different areas of Tehran City were used to implement an Environmental Education (EE) intervention program. Results: Results for the participants show a significant increase in the scores of knowledge and attitude about air pollution. Educational program and training tools had no effect on the concern indexes, values, and behavior toward air pollution. Review of the score changes toward waste component, shows that posttest scores (in comparison with pretest ones) increases in 4 indicators of knowledge, attitude, concern, and behavior, however the value index did not change so much. Conclusions: We can conclude that educational program can be used to convey the knowledge of the environment and in this regard, its implementation is necessary.
