Re: Heavy pollution all over Cyprus
The link I gave in my first post http://www.airquality.dli.mlsi.gov.cy gives you all the information you want or need, just by clicking on the parameters
(By the way, it is now PM 377 which means very unhealthy...)

Re: Heavy pollution all over Cyprus
Well, that article came up just recently from CMail....
"Dust levels are very high in most areas, the labour inspection department announced on Thursday.
The hourly concentration of small respirable particulate matter, with a diameter smaller than 10μg (PM 10), was extremly high in Nicosia, Paphos and Limassol in the morning, with readings of 254μg/m3 in Nicosia, 325μg/m3 in Paphos and 255μg/m3 in Limassol, while they were more moderate, just over 100μg/m3, in Famagusta and Larnaca. Acceptable levels of atmospheric dust are below 50μg/m3.
Employers are required to take appropriate measures to protect employees working outside and vulnerable groups such as the elderly and people with health problems should stay inside whenever possible."

Re: Heavy pollution all over Cyprus
The only good thing that morning with the dust was that I could play with my camera in extreme weather conditions...
p.e. this image from the sun could be also the moon...but it was 7.40 AM
or that pic showing all the muck in the air
