🔎 How Was the Air Quality in Debar During the Last 48 Hours?
For the first time, Debar now has two active air quality monitoring stations.
📢 THE FIRST 48 HOURS OF AIR QUALITY MONITORING IN DEBAR: WHAT DO THE DATA SHOW?
Both air quality monitoring stations are now fully operational. After completing the calibration phase, we have finalized the first full 48 hours of continuous measurements in two different areas of the city.
The two monitoring points now provide real-time data and enable comparison between the central and peripheral zones.
This marks an important step toward transparency and evidence-based information.
📊 Data Summary (48 Hours)
Average values recorded:
• PM2.5: 16.6 µg/m³
• PM10: 26.6 µg/m³
• PM1: 12.8 µg/m³
• CO₂: 469 ppm
• TVOC: 149 ppb
No extreme pollution episodes were recorded during this period.
🧪 What Are PM2.5 and PM10?
PM2.5 and PM10 are fine particulate matter generated from various sources in an urban environment, including:
🔥 Wood burning and other heating fuels
🚗 Traffic and road activity
🏗 Urban dust
🏭 Industrial activity
🔥 Waste burning
The smaller the particle, the deeper it can penetrate into the respiratory system.
The values recorded during these 48 hours are typical for an urban environment during the current season and do not indicate an alarming situation.
🌱 Why Is This Important?
Air quality is directly linked to public health, respiratory diseases, overall quality of life, and the future of our city.
Reliable data help us understand reality and make informed decisions, rather than reacting based on perceptions or emotions.
📅 Next Steps
• Weekly reports with trend analysis
• More detailed monthly analyses
• Educational posts explaining measured parameters
Continuous monitoring will help us better understand long-term trends and build a culture of fact-based awareness.
🌱 Debar deserves clean air!
