Environment Agency reports surge in solid particle concentrations in Tbilisi, regions

The Georgian National Environment Agency has reported an increase in the concentration of solid particles (PM10, PM2.5) in the air in certain regions, including the capital Tbilisi, since March 13.

This increase is primarily attributed to transboundary pollution and is linked to the dispersion of desert dust masses from the south.

The agency mentions that transboundary pollution is typically recorded during specific synoptic conditions on certain days of the year. Continuous monitoring of ambient air quality is being carried out by the National Environmental Agency, and the public is encouraged to check the state of air quality and receive health recommendations on the atmospheric air quality portal.
