Abstract

The presence of pollutants in the air has a negative impact on the health of the population. Thus, it is important to assess the air quality in terms of the presence of contaminants - weighted particles (PM10 and PM2.5), as well as NO2, O3, SO2 and CO.It was found that, compared to the previous years, there has been a slight improvement in air quality indicators in recent years, although the concentration of pollutants still exceeds the allowable limit values. Mostly this applies to the atmospheric air of cities where excessive numbers of vehicles exist. In the case of Rustavi, industrial pollution is added to the emissions of the internal combustion engine of vehicles. Probably because of this, Rustavi air pollution rates are high in terms of weighted particles (PM10 and PM2.5) and are 1.8 times and 1.5 times higher than the established standards, respectively. This makes it necessary to take preventive measures to improve air quality, which will have a positive impact on the health of the population.
