In the air of Kyiv during the week from July 10 to 15, an excess of the average daily maximum allowable concentrations of nitrogen dioxide was found to be 4 times higher.
Compared to the previous week, the level of sulfur dioxide and formaldehyde pollution has decreased slightly, according to the weekly report on air pollution from the Borys Sreznevsky Central Geophysical Observatory.
According to the data of the observatory, the exceeding of the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) in terms of the average daily content of nitrogen dioxide was:
- in 2.6-4.0 times – on Demiivska, Halytska and Bessarabska squares, Beresteysky prospect, Lesya Ukrainka boulevard, in the Hydropark area, Akademik Strazheska, Dovzhenka, Hetman Pavlo Polubotka, Inzhener Borodin, Kaunaska and Sklyarenko streets ;
- no excesses were observed at 37 Nauky Ave. (in the area of the meteorological station).
Exceeding the MPC by average daily content of sulfur dioxide:
- in 1.3-1.9 times on Demiivska, Bessarabska and Halytska squares, Beresteyskiy prospect, Lesya Ukrainka boulevard, in the Hydropark area, Akademik Strazheska, Oleksandr Dovzhenko, Hetman Pavlo Polubotka, Inzhener Borodin, Kaunaska and Semyon Sklyarenko streets ;
- no excesses were observed at 37 Nauky Ave. (in the area of the meteorological station).
Exceeding the MPC by average daily formaldehyde content:
- 1.1-2.4 times – on Demiivska, Bessarabska and Halytska squares, Nauka and Beresteyska avenues, Lesya Ukrainka boulevard, in the Hydropark area, Akademik Strazheska, Dovzhenka, Hetman Pavla Polubotka, Kaunaska and Sklyarenko streets .
Exceeding the MPC by average daily carbon monoxide content:
- 1.2-1.1 times – on Akademik Strazheska and Inzhener Borodin streets (July 13-15).
It is noted that compared to the previous week, the level of nitrogen dioxide pollution has increased.
Specialists of the observatory selected and analyzed 1488 atmospheric air samples from 15 stationary stations.
As EcoPolitic reported earlier, eco-activists have prepared TOP-5 tips on how to protect yourself from the negative effects of breathing in polluted air with dust particles PM2.5. These substances cause the development of a number of serious diseases.
