According to data from automated atmospheric monitoring stations at 9:00 AM in Tashkent on 26 July 2025:

The concentration of PM10 (particulate matter with a diameter of 10 microns or less) was 105.34 µg/m³, remaining below the permissible limit of 500 µg/m³.
PM2.5 (fine particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 microns or less) was measured at 22.25 µg/m³, below the limit of 35 µg/m³.
Carbon monoxide (CO), primarily from vehicle emissions and industrial sources, was recorded at 0.48 mg/m³, well within the acceptable limit of 5 mg/m³.

These pollutant levels are assessed against the maximum permissible concentrations outlined in SanPiN 0053-23, as amended on 27 May 2024, which updated the standards for PM2.5 content.
