What do we breathe? How the air quality monitoring system works in Kyiv

In Kyiv, air quality is measured by several entities using various indicators: * **Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA):** The KCSA operates a network of air quality monitoring stations across the city. These stations continuously measure the concentration of key pollutants, including particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O3). The data is then used to calculate the Air Quality Index (AQI), which provides a simplified representation of the overall air quality. The KCSA publishes this data on its website and through mobile applications. * **Central Geophysical Observatory named after Borys Sreznevsky:** This is a scientific institution that also conducts air quality monitoring in Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine. They use similar equipment and methods as the KCSA and provide data to government agencies and the public. * **Public Initiatives and NGOs:** Various public initiatives and non-governmental organizations also monitor air quality in Kyiv, often using mobile sensors and crowdsourcing data. These initiatives can provide more localized and real-time information on air quality in specific areas of the city. Examples include SaveDnipro. **Indicators Used:** The main indicators used to assess air quality in Kyiv include: * **Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10):** These are tiny particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause respiratory problems. PM2.5 is considered more dangerous due to its smaller size. * **Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2):** A gas produced by combustion processes, mainly from vehicles and industrial sources. It can irritate the lungs and contribute to respiratory problems. * **Sulfur Dioxide (SO2):** A gas produced by burning fossil fuels, especially coal. It can cause respiratory problems and contribute to acid rain. * **Carbon Monoxide (CO):** A colorless, odorless gas produced by incomplete combustion. It can reduce the ability of blood to carry oxygen. * **Ozone (O3):** While ozone in the upper atmosphere protects us from harmful UV radiation, ground-level ozone is a pollutant that can irritate the lungs and contribute to respiratory problems. These pollutants are measured in terms of their concentration in the air (e.g., micrograms per cubic meter - µg/m3). These concentrations are then used to calculate the Air Quality Index (AQI), which is a single number that represents the overall air quality. The AQI is typically divided into categories such as "Good," "Moderate," "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups," "Unhealthy," "Very Unhealthy," and "Hazardous."
