Air quality in the Kyiv region remains normal despite the fires in the Chernobyl zone

As of June 29, air quality in the Kyiv region is within normal limits, despite numerous fires in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. No increase in background radiation levels has been recorded in the region either.

According to the Kyiv Regional State Administration, round-the-clock automated monitoring has not detected any concentrations of chemical or biological substances in the air that exceed permissible levels.

At the same time, according to the SaveEcoBot system, approximately 500 fire hotspots are currently being recorded in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The reserve explains that these fires are caused, in particular, by military operations, the crash of Russian drones, and the detonation of mines and ammunition.

Experts emphasize that due to the heat, lack of precipitation, and high fire risk, the situation could change rapidly.
