The air quality measurement stations of Sofia Municipality do not provide accurate information, Sofia Mayor Vasil Terziev said. According to him, there is a 12 times discrepancy in the data of the municipal stations compared to those of civil organizations, which are more accurate.
The mayor recalled that in the summer the municipality commissioned a leading foreign company to prepare a report on air quality measurement and the result was disappointing. The previous city administration invested about BGN 1 million in a system that does not report accurately, he pointed out, adding that the priority of his administration will be the construction of a network of sensors.
"For this system to work well, two things are necessary - one is to have very precise measuring stations, of which there are only five in Sofia, plus a network of not so expensive and not so precise, but numerous stations, which are all over the city ", Vasil Terziev also said.
