“On October 2 and 3, in Klaipeda, as in all of Lithuania, a significant exceedance of the particle concentration was observed. The mean daily limit value for airborne particles was exceeded up to three times or more. At the same time, we also observed the readings from the pollution measurement stations of the Klaipeda state seaport. However, these stations did not show any exceedance of the particle concentration. Although in those days even the wind was from the east / southeast, that is, from the side of the city, ”he writes. 15 minutes reader.

He reported that he had observed the data and recorded that on Friday, October 2, the Environmental Protection Agency station in central Klaipeda returned 151.03 mg / m3 (PM 10 24-hour average), at the same time as the measuring station. of port pollution (the same indicator) showed only 23.81 mg. / m3.

Also on Saturday, October 3, the stop of the Environmental Protection Agency showed 95.54 mg / m3, at the same time that the stop of the port pollution measurement showed only 16.11 mg / m3. Maybe you can explain how it is possible: why do the stops at the ports show 6 times less pollution? If the port stations are down or malfunctioning, how can such data be made public and the public constantly misled based on the station’s indications as evidence that Klasco and the port are not polluting the air? ”The reader resented.

At the time, the Port Authority responded to the request that air pollution measurement stations were currently being inspected at the Klaipeda port. The manufacturer was called last week if a possible failure was suspected. No temporary station data will be provided.

The Port Authority has installed 3 stationary air pollution measurement stations for preventive purposes. The stops acquired a few years ago were built in different parts of the port.
