Kyiv is in the top 5 cities in the world in terms of air pollution

As of the morning of September 22, Kyiv ranked fifth among the most polluted cities in the world, according to data from the IQair service. After the evening of thick smoke and an unpleasant smell that covered the capital on September 21, the level of air pollution increased sharply due to the increased concentration of suspended dust particles.

In the morning, the situation did not improve, and Kyiv remained among the leaders in terms of pollution. The main source of pollution is fine dust of fraction 2.5 microns, which poses a serious threat to health.

Environmentalists and doctors recommend that Kyiv residents follow a number of tips to improve the air quality:

  • Close the windows and do not open them until the air quality improves.
  • Limit outdoor exposure, especially to children, the elderly, and those with respiratory problems.
  • Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated.
  • If possible, turn on air purifiers at maximum power.
