This landmark report \u201cAir Quality in Termez, Uzbekistan: Assessment of Key Emission Sources and Recommendations for Enhancing Air Quality Monitoring and Management\u201d<\/strong> presents the first comprehensive, city-level air quality assessment for Termez, a strategically important city in southern Uzbekistan exposed to both intense human activity and natural dust dynamics. Drawing on ground-based monitoring, satellite observations, meteorological analysis and a local emissions inventory, the study provides a robust scientific foundation for understanding air pollution patterns and their implications for public health and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The findings reveal that particulate matter pollution (PM\u2081\u2080 and PM2.5<\/sub>) in Termez exceeds national and international health-based limits throughout the year, driven by a combination of frequent sand and dust storms, wintertime household heating, transport, agriculture and other local combustion sources. While natural factors play a major role, the report clearly shows that targeted action on anthropogenic emissions can significantly reduce exposure and health risks, especially for vulnerable groups such as women, children and the elderly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond diagnosis, the report is strongly action-oriented. It offers clear, evidence-based recommendations to strengthen air quality monitoring, improve data quality and transparency, enhance early warning and response to sand and dust storms, and implement sector-specific emission reduction measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study was commissioned by UNEP at the request of the National Committee on Ecology and Climate Change of Uzbekistan through technical support of the Finnish Meteorological Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
