The smell of burning in the capital over the past day was caused by a weather phenomenon, not by fires or garbage incineration, head of the Emergency Situations Department of the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA) Roman Tkachuk said, according to Ukrainska Pravda.
“According to the latest information, it is a weather phenomenon, the SSES [the State Sanitary Epidemiological Service of Ukraine] says. The SESU [the State Emergency Service of Ukraine] does not confirm any fires within the city limits and nearby, reporting no fires at landfills. According to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, the smog was caused by weather, when all the smoke and emissions accumulate in the near-surface layer of the atmosphere instead of rising up,” Tkachuk said.
