There are fewer fires in Podgorica, it's easier to breathe

The air in Podgorica was again polluted yesterday after the level of dusty substances was within normal limits on Wednesday.

The general impression, however, is that it is easier to breathe, because yesterday at 14 pm, 66 micrograms per cubic meter were measured, 16 more than the legal limit.

However, the Environmental Protection Agency did not record a significant increase in the amount of dust particles in the capital in the last two days.

Further normalization of air quality is to be expected, given that there are fewer and fewer fires in the vicinity of Podgorica.

The Protection Service announced that, from Wednesday at 14 pm to yesterday at 7 am, four small fires were reported and extinguished very quickly.

"In Koriti, the situation has not changed, and the workers on duty are keeping the situation under control," the announcement reads.

Until Wednesday, citizens were hit by record air pollution for 11 consecutive days, caused by a large number of fires.

A level of more than 200 milligrams per cubic meter was recorded, which is why the Agency warned the most sensitive part of the population to spend as little time as possible outdoors.

Air quality is directly affected by meteorological conditions, so the long-awaited rain would be very welcome.

Monthly report on September 10

The monthly report on air quality at the measuring points of the State Network for August, which will show the chemical composition of dust particles, will be published on the website of the Environmental Protection Agency on September 10.

The average daily concentrations of dust particles from the measurement sites for August were published on the Agency's website (www.epa.org.me) on September 6.
