Abstract

Based on the atmospheric air monitoring data and using experimental measurements there has been assessed concentrations of micro aerosols (PM2.5 and PM10) and features of their time change in the atmosphere of Kutaisi city and its adjacent territories. There have been determined the numbers of days and observation, when their average daily concentrations exceed the respective maximum permissible concentrations. Micro aerosols surface distribution pattern has been built up according to experimental measurements data. Zones of high and low concentrations have been established.
