Air quality in Kyiv will deteriorate again in coming days
On October 1 and 2, according to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, air quality is expected to deteriorate in Kyiv due to dust from the Caspian Sea region.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the press center of the KMMA.
As noted, a dust storm and high air pollution are currently observed in the Caspian lowland. The wind carries air with dust in the form of the smallest particles in the upper atmosphere to Ukraine.
According to weather forecasters, the situation will remain tentatively until Friday, when the wind direction in Ukraine will change to the south and west.
What is the advice?
In case of air quality deterioration, doctors advise:
- Do not go outside and close the windows;
- Refrain from engaging in physical activity in the open air;
- Drink lots of water.
