Map of air monitoring system in Moscow
1. Air monitoring system in Moscow
2. Main terms and definitions used
LV ms – maximum single limit value of substance concentration in the air of inhabited areas, mg/m3. This concentration is not to give rise to the reflex response in human beings in case of inhaling during 20-30 min ["maximum limit" is known also as maximum allowable concentration, maximum permissible concentration, maximum concentration limit].
LVda - maximum daily average limit value of substance concentration in the air of inhabited localities, mg/m3. It is not affects human health in case of permanent influence during years.
Class of hazard – characterize air pollutants' degree of danger for human beings. There are 4 classes of hazard:
- extremely hazardous substances
- highly hazardous
- hazardous
- moderately hazardous
