Air Quality Analysis for Bishkek - PM2.5 Source Apportionment and Emission Reduction Measures
Existing information and studies on air quality in Bishkek are limited and at times present contradictory information regarding the main sources of air pollution in the city. This study thus uses a scientific approach to identify the main sources of air pollution in Bishkek, estimate their relative contributions to PM2.5 concentrations, model the dispersion of PM2.5 pollution across the Bishkek airshed and assess the impact on PM2.5 concentrations of a range of emission reduction measures. The study’s results support the evidence base for the design of measures to improve air quality in Bishkek. This study aims to evaluate the air quality situation in Bishkek, focusing on PM2.5 pollution, which has the largest impact on human health, and to provide support for the design of measures to improve air quality in the city.

| Summary: | Existing information and studies on
air quality in Bishkek are limited and at times present
contradictory information regarding the main sources of air
pollution in the city. This study thus uses a scientific
approach to identify the main sources of air pollution in
Bishkek, estimate their relative contributions to PM2.5
concentrations, model the dispersion of PM2.5 pollution
across the Bishkek airshed and assess the impact on PM2.5
concentrations of a range of emission reduction measures.
The study’s results support the evidence base for the design
of measures to improve air quality in Bishkek. This study
aims to evaluate the air quality situation in Bishkek,
focusing on PM2.5 pollution, which has the largest impact on
human health, and to provide support for the design of
measures to improve air quality in the city. |
