According to the results of monitoring conducted by the specialists of the National Monitoring Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, the amount of dust in the air is higher than usual since January 31.
The ministry told Report that at present, the amount of dust exceeds sanitary norms by 2.4 times.
The reason is the dust smoke penetrating the territory of the country from Iran, Iraq, and the Arabian Peninsula with the southwestern air flows.
Dusty weather is expected to continue throughout the day.
The south-west wind will become the north-west wind in the evening, which will reduce the amount of dust to the norm.
