PM10 dust is one of the components of smog. It contains, among other things, toxic substances. It is produced as a product of combustion in solid fuel furnaces and boilers. Smog is formed when smoke, dust and other pollutants mix with fog or moisture in the air. High concentrations of PM10 are an indicator of poor air quality and can cause health problems such as respiratory irritation, coughing and exacerbation of asthma.

What is an RCB alert

Alert RCB is an SMS threat warning system. On RCB alert no need to sign up. People who find themselves in the area of ​​a potential life-threatening crisis will receive a short text message (SMS) on their mobile phone with information about the type of threat, its location, and the source of the warning. It does not matter which operator we have concluded a contract with.

The amendment to the Telecommunications Law and certain other acts of June 11, 2018 imposes on all operators the obligation to immediately send a message to all users in the area specified by the RCB director. Messages are issued only in exceptional situations that may pose a real threat to human life and health.
