with reference to the data of the State Environmental Institution `` Mosekomonitoring ''.
`` Currently, the maximum concentration of pollutants – combustion indicators are: carbon monoxide – in 3,6 times the maximum permissible concentration, suspended matter – in 2,8 times higher than the maximum permissible concentration, specific hydrocarbons – in 1,5 times higher than the usual level '', – shared the representative of Mosecomonitoring.
Environmentalists note, that the current situation in the most negative way in the future can affect the human body, because suspended particles with a size of 10 microns penetrate deeply into the respiratory system of a person and then are never removed from there. These particles, accumulating in the human body, have a negative impact on health and overall life expectancy. Experts strongly recommend all residents of the Russian capital not to go outside and try to use eight-layer gauze bandages moistened with water.
Strong smoke also affected the operation of Moscow airports. So, airports & quot; Vnukovo" and & quot; Domodedovo" could not serve more 40 flights and could not fly from the capital's airports hundreds of passengers. Currently, all air gates of Moscow are working according to actual weather, that is, each crew commander, independently makes a decision, takeoff and landing.
In turn, the press service of Russian Railways reported, that the movement of all trains is carried out in the same mode, and smoke is not a big problem for railway workers. Russian Railways employees are accustomed to such conditions and find in them similarities to fog, when additional security measures are applied, namely the more frequent use of sound signals and lighting equipment.
Recall, that strong smog over Moscow was caused by a huge number of fires in the forests near Moscow, as well as fire on peat bogs. Over the past day in the Moscow region were registered 42 peat fire.
