An increase in the concentration of solid particles (PM10, PM2.5) in Georgia from January 23. The relevant statement was released by the National Environment Agency [NEA].

According to the agency, this increase is primarily attributed to transboundary pollution and is linked to the dispersion of desert dust masses from the south.

“The 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 NEA, and the public is encouraged to check the state of air quality and receive health recommendations on the atmospheric air quality portal”.
