Specialists observatories took and analyzed 1380 atmospheric air samples at 15 stationary posts.

According to the observatory, the excess of the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) for the average daily content of nitrogen dioxide last week was:

  • 4.2-5.6 times on Victory Square, Kaunasskaya and Semyon Sklyarenko streets;
