National Environmental Agency reports particulate matter concentration in Tbilisi and some regions of Georgia
The National Environmental Protection Agency has observed an uptick in particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5) concentrations in the atmospheric air in some regions of Georgia, including the capital. The primary cause of this increase is transboundary pollution.
As the agency explains, this is not a reason to panic.
In addition, the National Environmental Protection Agency is continuously monitoring ambient air quality.
Transboundary pollution is observed during specific synoptic conditions on certain days of the year. It is a weather phenomenon, and there is no need to panic. The National Environmental Agency of the Ministry of Environment and Agriculture of Georgia continues to monitor air quality using automatic stations. Anyone has the opportunity to learn about the state of air quality and receive health recommendations on the air quality portal,” reads the information from the National Environmental Protection Agency.
