The state of atmospheric air in Minsk on January 21

As part of the regular monitoring of atmospheric air conducted by Belhydromet, on January 21 in Minsk, an analysis of air samples showed that the level of nitrogen oxide remains slightly elevated. Excess of established hygiene standards was recorded in 5 points of the city: 110a Nezavisimosti Ave., 23 Timiryazeva St., 50 Radialnaya St., Uruchye microdistrict and Korzhenevski St. The maximum concentration of nitrogen oxide at 12:00 was 2.4 MPC.

Also, according to the data for January 20, there was a slight excess (1.2 times) of the average daily maximum permissible concentration for solid particles, fractions up to 2.5 μm (fine dust).
These indicators are related to current meteorological conditions, including windless weather and surface inversion, which make it difficult for pollutants to naturally disperse into the atmosphere.

Warnings about adverse meteorological conditions are still in effect for large industrial and motor transport enterprises in Minsk in order to implement measures to reduce the anthropogenic impact on the environment. Belhydromet continues to continuously monitor the situation and promptly informs interested parties.
