Air quality in Tashkent has improved: a "green" level has been recorded
Air quality improved in the capital following the dispersion of PM particles.
After air quality deteriorated in Tashkent overnight into November 6, the situation improved in the morning hours. According to the National Air Quality Index, air quality in the capital reached the "green" level reached.
According to the Committee of Ecology, starting from 20:00 on November 5, Tashkent's air fell to the "unhealthy" level according to the international Air Quality Index (AQI). After midnight, air quality improved and was recorded at a "moderate" level in the morning. According to the national index, the indicator was at the "yellow" level until midnight, and afterward at the "green" level.
It was noted that in the evening hours, weak wind prevented the dispersion of atmospheric emissions and PM particles generated in local and neighboring areas. As a result, pollutants accumulated in the layer near the ground.
After midnight, as a result of the inflow of warm and dry air from the east, increased wind speed, and improved air exchange, PM particles dispersed.
Specialists of the National Center for Environmental Monitoring also conducted instrumental measurements of air quality in Tashkent city and Qibray district.
According to forecasts, on November 6 in Tashkent, air quality is expected to be mostly unhealthy for sensitive groups according to the international AQI, and mostly "green," at times "yellow," according to the national index.
Currently, control and raid measures aimed at improving air quality continue in the capital. Based on citizens' appeals, the Eco-police of the Committee of Ecology studied the activities of "N.H.P" LLC and identified violations of environmental requirements at the enterprise.
Also, serious environmental violations were recorded at another construction site in Tashkent.
