In Volyn, in the Lyubeshivska community, air quality monitoring stations with an additional radiation background sensor began to be installed.

This will allow residents of the community to receive information about exceeding pollution standards, reports Lyubeshiv village council.

The message emphasized that the monitoring stations also:

  • provide access to data on dust content in the air, temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure and other indicators;
  • will create an opportunity to predict probable periods of increased threat to public health for early response to them.
