A declining trend in the concentration of particulate matter in Georgia’s ambient air has been observed, according to the National Environment Agency of Georgia. The Agency reports that this decrease has been driven by meteorological processes.
According to the Agency, precipitation in the form of rain was recorded from the afternoon of December 1 across most of western Georgia and in certain areas of eastern Georgia. Along with the rainfall, moderate westerly winds were observed in some parts of the country, including the capital.
“It should be noted that over the past several days, the spread of desert dust masses from the south and southeast across certain areas of Georgia led to increased concentrations of particulate matter in the ambient air.
The spread of desert dust masses over Georgia is recorded periodically throughout the year. Improvement in air quality depends on the development of appropriate meteorological processes such as rain, snow, and wind,” the Agency stated.
Information regarding the spread of desert dust masses in Georgia’s ambient air is disseminated by the National Environment Agency based on data from the World Meteorological Organization, dust forecast centers, and the National Hydrometeorological Department.
