The State Hydrometeorology Service issued a yellow code warning over air polluted with dust for the municipality of Balti, IPN reports.
The level of dust in the air in the municipality is 3.2 times higher than the norm. The next days, the weather without precipitation and the moderate wind, in parts with gusts of up to 15-20 m/s, will contribute to increasing the amount of dust in the air above the ground.
The dust and antiskid material spread by the wind and the units of transport significantly pollute the air and can affect the organs of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
The State Hydrometeorology Service recommends the local authorities to wash the streets and the adjoining areas as soon as possible so as to reduce the impact on the environment and the people’s health.
