In Kyiv, as of August 23, an increase in the level of permissible concentration of suspended particles (dust) to the limit was recorded, which caused the formation of smog in the city. Residents of Kiev are advised not to walk on the street and close windows in apartments.

According to the Department of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Kyiv City State Administration, the dust source is located outside the city of Kyiv, and the smog arose as a result of the movement of dust from the southeast direction.

In the morning, at the maximum permissible concentration of dust particles of 500 µg/m3, the content of such particles on the left bank was 273 µg/m3, on the right bank – 316 µg/m3.

“The excess of other pollutants monitored (nitrogen oxide and dioxide, sulfur oxide, ozone, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide) was not detected.

The radiation background is within the normal range,"

To improve the situation, residents of the capital are recommended:.

close the windows of the house;

don't go outside again;

to drink a lot of water;

if there is an air cleaner, then turn it on to the maximum.

You can also monitor the state of atmospheric air and background radiation in real time..
