According to the SaveEcoBot service, the worst situation in Kyiv was observed in certain areas of the Solomyanskyi and Sviatoshynskyi districts, where air pollution levels reached the “red” level.

Following one of Russia’s most intense nighttime attacks on Kyiv on August 5, elevated levels of air pollution were recorded in the capital. The worst conditions are observed in the western and eastern parts of the city, where the Air Quality Index (AQI) has reached unhealthy levels.
Following Russia’s massive attack on Kyiv and the Kyiv region, the threat of air pollution persists. The Ministry of Health advises people to spend less time outdoors, close windows and doors, and take steps to protect their respiratory tracts. It is especially important to monitor your health and respond immediately if you experience breathing difficulties.
