RA Ministry of Nature Protection is conducting atmosphere monitoring to
establish control over ozone and dust concentration levels, Armenian
Minister of Nature Protection stated.

As he told a news conference in Yerevan, a number of programs aimed
at reduction of atmospheric pollution were developed; specifically,
automatic stations to gauge atmospheric air pollution will be set in
Yerevan to assess the level of vehicle-caused pollution.

Besides, as Aram Harutyunyan noted, demands imposed on CIS imported
cars without cleansing filters were hardened, with usage of pollution
controlling filters in cars made obligatory.
