The impact of the environment on human health is an undeniable fact. Ambient air pollution from transport, industrial enterprises, and energy industry is the biggest single risk factor. Particulate matter (PM) with the aerodynamic diameter of particles less than 10 μm-PM10 and less than 2.5 μm – PM2.5 pose a particular danger on public health. There is no standard for PM10 and PM2.5 and as-sessment of inhalatory exposure for public health in Ukraine. The objective is to determine the level of ambient PM10 and PM2.5 air pollution in Desniansky district in Kyiv.
The research took place from June to October 2017. Instrumental measurements of concen-tration levels of PM2,5 and PM10 in ambient air was done using the ambient dust monitor APDA-371 (HORIBA), what provides automatic continuous measurements of concentrations with measurement cycle time- 1 hour and possibility of on-line data transmission.
Mean daily and monthly concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 in ambient air in Desniansky dis-trict in Kyiv were determined in the result of current research. The exceedances of WHO-recommended permissible levels of mean daily concentrations were detected during 5 months: PM10-12 times, PM2.5-6 times.
