Air quality deterioration in Kyiv: what caused it
Kyiv • UNN
Air quality in the capital is deteriorating due to dust accumulation and unfavorable weather conditions. Kyiv residents are advised to close windows, limit their time outside and drink more water.
Kyiv is experiencing a temporary deterioration in air quality, which is likely due to an increase in the concentration of suspended solids.
This was reported by KCSA, UNN writes.
Details
The likely reason for the increase in pollution is the accumulation of suspended solids (dust). Since low winds and high atmospheric pressure do not help disperse impurities
Residents and visitors of the capital are advised to close windows, limit their time outside, and drink plenty of water until the air quality improves. If you have an air purifier, turn it on to the maximum setting.
Addendum
Earlier, the Environment Ministry had already denied information about the ‘Dust Cloud’, which is approaching Ukraine.
The media, including the Ventusky portal, have been actively disseminating information about the forecast of deteriorating air quality in Ukraine starting February 13 due to a dust cloud that is likely to approach Ukraine from Europe
Also, according to the European Environmental Agency (EEA), there is a deterioration in air quality in Europe due to an increase in the content of PM 2.5 particulate matter in the air.

Earlier UNN wrote that a cloud of polluted airis expected to cover Ukraine in the middle of the week. Air quality will deteriorate by more than 300 units. Zhytomyr will suffer the most with a level of 317 units, and the pollution will also affect Kharkiv - 91 units, Kyiv - 83 units, and Dnipropetrovs'k regions.
