Air quality may worsen in Tashkent on the night of October 24
The National Committee for Ecology and Climate Change predicts that the air quality in Tashkent may temporarily deteriorate on the night of October 24.
According to the forecast of the agency, in the evening and at night, the concentration of fine particles PM2.5 and PM10 will increase. According to the international AQI index, the air may reach an "unfavorable" level, and according to the national scale, the indicators are mainly expected to be at the "yellow" mark.
Among the possible causes, the committee cites a decrease in temperature at night, weak wind, and strong temperature inversion. In such weather, the lower layers of the atmosphere poorly exchange air with the upper ones, and dust particles accumulate near the ground.
After dawn, when the inversion begins to weaken, the air will gradually become cleaner. However, in the morning, in some areas of the capital, the AQI index may still be at the level of "unfavorable for sensitive groups". The situation is constantly monitored by a special commission.
What it means
The forecast applies to Tashkent for the night of October 24. After dawn, according to the committee, the air quality should gradually improve, but in the morning, in separate areas, the AQI index may remain at the level of "unfavorable for sensitive groups".
