About us

Ambient air pollution is one of the main environmental challenges of today's humanity. Ambient air is polluted with harmful substances emitted from anthropogenic and natural sources.

The main sources of atmospheric air pollution are: transport, energy, industry and agriculture sectors. According to the data of the World Health Organization (WHO), 91% of the world's population lives in an environment where the air quality does not meet the norms established by the WHO. In Georgia, the problem of atmospheric air pollution is fixed in the largest cities of the country, as well as near large industrial facilities and industrial zones.

Ambient air quality monitoring in Georgia is carried out by the National Environmental Agency of the Ministry of Environment Protection and Agriculture. In 2014-2017, the outdated air quality assessment system was gradually replaced by modern European systems.
