A high level of air pollution was recorded in the capital

This morning, September 23, Kyiv faced a high level of air pollution, which made it dangerous to be outside. According to the city application "Kyiv Digital", at 8:40 a.m. Kyiv took 10th place in the world anti-air pollution rating, with an AQI index of 101 in the USA. This indicates a level of pollution that is harmful to sensitive populations.

The main pollutant is fine dust PM2.5, the concentration of which exceeds the annual norm recommended by WHO by 7.1 times. With this in mind, experts recommend that residents of the capital close windows, limit their time outside and drink plenty of water.

The probable reason for the deterioration of air quality is fires in the ecosystem of the Kyiv region. The level of air pollution remains high in all areas of the capital, as evidenced by monitoring data at various stations:

  • On the avenue of the European Union, the air quality index is 76;
  • Shchuseva Street – 78;
  • Beresteyskyi Avenue – 77;
  • The Left Bank (Kharkovske Shosse St.) has the highest index of 83.

These indicators indicate that the permissible concentrations of dust, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide are exceeded, which can have a negative impact on health.

What should residents of Kyiv do:

  1. Close windows and turn on air purifiers.
  2. Minimize time spent outside , especially for people with allergies, asthma or other respiratory diseases.
  3. Drink a lot of water to maintain the body in polluted air.

It is expected that the situation will improve after the elimination of sources of pollution, in particular fires in the region.
