Level of air pollution in Bishkek was higher in Soviet times — Kyrgyzgidromet

AKIPRESS.COM - Smoke always existed in Bishkek, representative of the Kyrgyzgidromet Lyudmila Nyshanova said on November 29 at the seminar on air pollution in Bishkek.
According to her, smoke in Bishkek has always been since 1960.
The smoke emerges every season in the year, she noted.
"For example, it is always there in autumn-winter season and it reduces in summer," Nyshanova said.
According to her, the level of air pollution was higher in the Soviet times. At that time, everything was measured and smoke always exsited, she noted.
"Maybe, this it depends on the activity of citizens, who started thinking more about their health," she said.
