Verbatim department: “According to the monitoring posts of local authorities and public organizations, the level of air pollution is currently average.
With such indicators, recommendations on limiting the time spent outside are not mandatory, but we advise you to pay attention to your well-being.”
Details: In case of changes in air quality, the Ministry of Environment promises to provide additional information.
It was previously reported that the reason for the deterioration of air quality in the capital is the burning of peatlands, fires in ecosystems, autumn temperature fluctuations and weak wind.
In such periods, people are advised to:
- if possible, avoid being outdoors, especially during periods of intense smoke,
- keep windows and doors closed to prevent smoke from entering the room,
- drink lots of water
- use a mask or respirator, as well as an air purifier,
- do wet cleaning of premises.
People with diseases of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems are recommended to pay special attention to these tips.
The state of the air and the radiation background can be monitored on the web resource of the Ministry of Environment EcoZagroza.
