Air quality deteriorates in Vyshhorod, Vasylkiv, Bila Tserkva, Brovary after Russian attack fires – official

Russian attacks on Kyiv region have led to a temporary deterioration in air quality in Vyshhorod, Vasylkiv, Bila Tserkva, and Brovary, according to the Kyiv Regional Military Administration. The daily average observations from monitoring posts have detected moderate levels of fine particulate matter, with dust being the primary pollutant.

The military administration reported that the enemy attack has damaged 14 warehouses, 16 private homes, 3 multi-apartment buildings, and 16 vehicles in the region. Residents in these areas may experience breathing discomfort, particularly children, the elderly, and those sensitive to respiratory irritation. Experts advise keeping windows closed, limiting outdoor exposure, staying hydrated, and using air purifiers at maximum power when available.

In other settlements where atmospheric air monitoring is conducted, no exceedances of permissible chemical and biological substances have been recorded, and gamma radiation levels are within natural background levels. Air quality monitoring continues around the clock in automatic mode at 16 observation points across Kyiv region.
