The radiation background is normal

In Kyiv, as of the morning of Wednesday, September 7, the level of atmospheric air pollution is very low on the right bank and average on the left.

Department of ecology and natural resources of the KMDA repots about it. In particular, the radiation background in the capital is normal.

On the left bank of the capital in the area of ​​St. Architect Verbytskyi, 26, there is a local excess of hydrogen sulfide concentration. However, the situation is already declining.

Right bank
