Air Pollution Warning 27. febrúar 2007 14:10 Reykjavík air pollution exceeded recommended health care levels yesterday, and is expected reach high levels again today. Yesterday, city officals issued a warning, advising old people, children and people with respitory deceases to stay indoors. The combination of frost, snowless streets and still wind create conditions in Reykjavík that generate high pollution levels caused by airborne micro dust particles stirred up by traffic. Health care limits in Reykjavík are set at 50 micrograms per cubicmeter (ug/m3) in 24-hours. Yesterday's pollution was measured at 66,1 ug/m3. This is the fifth time this year that pollution exceeds health care limits. Reykjavík city is taking measures to reduce the number of days when pollution exceeds health care limits, with the target being no more than 23 days this year.
