The Agency’s Statement Regarding Transboundary Pollution
Environmental pollution monitoring
According to the National Environmental Agency, an increase in the concentration of solid particles (PM10, PM2.5) has been detected in the air since 13 March in some regions of Georgia, including the capital. This is primarily attributed to transboundary pollution and is due to the spread of desert dust masses from the south.
It should be noted that the transboundary pollution is typically recorded during similar synoptic conditions on certain days of the year.
The LEPL National Environmental Agency under the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia continues its ongoing monitoring of ambient air quality through automatic stations.
Interested individuals can learn about the state of air quality and receive health recommendations by visiting the ambient air quality portal at www.air.gov.ge.
