Particulate matter concentrations in some areas of Athens exceeded 250 micrograms per cubic meter, when the usual is 70 to 90
For the smoke that covered the Attic sky – and not only – her Grill Day spoke the Director of Research of the Athens Observatory, Evangelos Gerasopoulos.
As she pointed out to ERT, in her usual phenomenon smog smoke from the crackling was also added, causing the smog to rise two and a half times above the usual limit in Athens.
“What we measured and found was that – in relation to the usual evening levels, where we have concentrations around 70 to 90 micrograms per cubic meter – last night (16/2) and earlier, we had very high concentrations that in some areas of Athens exceeded 250 micrograms per cubic meter”, revealed Mr. Gerasopoulos, characterizing the value as borderline as it was 2 with 2.5 times up from the usual cold nights in Athens.
And as he said in addition to the tobacco that is due to squeaking, smoke from fireplaces and stoves causes a burden on our health. “The limit established by the World Health Organization is 15 micrograms per cubic meter. The average price of the day is 15μg this year which is a special year and was more elevated, while in the evenings we exceed 70, 80 and 100 micrograms per cubic meter. We are much higher” pointed out the Director of Research of the Athens Observatory.
