In the air of Kyiv during the week with 17 to 22 in July, an excess of the average daily maximum allowable concentrations of nitrogen dioxide was found to be 4.3 times higher.
Compared to the previous week, the level of nitrogen dioxide pollution has slightly decreased, says 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 2.7-4.3 times – on Demiivska, Halytska and Bessarabska squares, Obolonski prospect, Lesya Ukrainka boulevard, in the Hydropark area, Akademik Strazheska, Dovzhenka, Hetman Pavlo Polubotka, Inzhener Borodin, Kaunaska and Sklyarenko streets ;

- 1.5-2.8 times – on Demiivska, Bessarabska and Halytska squares, Obolonsky 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:
- 1.1-2.5 times – on Demiivska, Bessarabska and Halytska squares, Nauka and Obolonski avenues, Lesya Ukrainka boulevard, in the Hydropark area, Akademika Strazheska, Dovzhenka, Hetman Pavla Polubotka, Kaunaska and Sklyarenko streets.
Exceeding the MPC by average daily carbon monoxide content:
- 2.2 times – on Mezhihirska Street (July 21);
- by 1.0-1.1 times – on the streets of Akademik Strazheska, Inzhener Borodin, Sklyarenko (July 17 and 22).
Exceeding the MPC by average daily content suspended solids:
- 1.0 times – on Bessarabska Square (July 18).
It is noted that compared to the previous week the level of pollution with sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and suspended solids has slightly increased.
Specialists of the observatory collected and analyzed 1,488 samples of atmospheric air from 15 stationary posts.
As EcoPolitic reported earlier, in Kyiv an illegally built summer cafe was dismantled on the shore of Lake Vyrlytsia in the Darnytsia district. A flower bed with bushes and bright flowers was arranged in its place.
