Automatic air monitoring stations have been installed in the sanitary protection zones of Fergana and Samarkand airports.

The installation and adjustment of equipment in Samarkand were completed on 9 October, and the station in Fergana was installed on 15 October. Similar devices are planned to be installed near other airports in the republic later. The system records the content of fine particles PM2.5 and PM10, as well as the concentration of nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide. Along with this, the devices measure meteorological parameters: temperature, humidity level, atmospheric pressure, wind speed, and direction. The data is sent continuously to the Unified Geoinformation Database of Environmental Monitoring. The project is being implemented jointly with Malkam Environmental Technologies in accordance with the presidential decree on the transformation of the environmental sphere and the government decree on reducing industrial pollution.
