Deliberation on Air Quality Management Plan Was Held in Rustavi City Hall

Today, on June 26^th, at 11:00 AM, a deliberation on the project of “2023-2025 Action Plan for Improvement of Air Quality of the Central Zone” was held.”

The “Gavigudet” team attended the deliberation, during which we once again spoke up about the issues that were not/could not be reflected in the action plan (for detailed information, see the link).

Also, we got the good news, that the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health, within the scope of the research to be conducted within the framework of the action plan (estimation of the exposure for the population of Rustavi to excess concentrations of harmful substances (PM10, PM2.5, NO2)) will use as data not only from Rustavi medical institutions statistics but also the statistics of patients who are legally registered in Rustavi, although they may have used the services of medical institutions in Tbilisi or other cities. This fact is very important in order to correctly assess the impact of air pollution on the health of Rustavi residents.

Let us remind you that our team was a member of the working group of this plan, and after its approval, we will actively continue to monitor the implementation of the plan.
