September 22 Kyiv again was among the leaders of the world anti-rating for air pollution levels, taking fifth place.
This was reported by URA-Inform, with reference to IQ Air.
The source notes that the pollution indicators air in the capital of Ukraine in the morning exceeded the norm by 7.5 times. The situation is especially bad on the left bank of Kyiv, as well as in the southern areas of the city and suburbs, such as Sofiyivska Borshahivka.

The reason for such deterioration of air quality were forest fires and peat fires in the Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy regions. These disasters continue to have a serious impact on the environmental situation in the region. Let us recall that on September 20, Kyiv topped the anti-rating for air pollution levels in the world, as the city was covered in thick smog caused by smoke from fires.
Kyiv authorities and environmentalists recommend that residents limit their time outdoors during periods of poor air quality and monitor for your well-being. The pollution situation requires close attention, especially in the autumn period, when wildfires can worsen the ecological situation in the region.
