Monitoring of atmospheric air pollution in Georgia started in the sixties of last century. For years observation kept on non-automotive, stationary stations. Since 2013 the National Environmental Agency has begun to modernize the observation network in accordance with modern requirements. Since 2016 in the regions as well as in the capital, new non-automatic stations are replaced by modern automotive stations and installation of new additional stations. During 2016 year new automatic statuions were installed in Tbilisi, Chiatura and Batumi. As for 2017 - Kutaisi and Batumi got new automatic stations in addition. Currently 8 automatic stations operate in Georgia.

Monitoring of atmospheric air pollutants is carried out continuously during 24 hours on automatic stations. Data flow from automatic stations is continuous and are kept directly in database and shown in web portal air.gov.ge. Such data is not validated. As for non-automatic stations delivery period is once in month, those data are filled by specialists to the database and shown on web portal air.gov.ge. After data input daily and monthly reports are generated automatically with indicator of validation. Yearly reports are prepared by specialists.

For the purpose of determining atmospheric air quality in Georgia, indicator measurements are carried out four times a year since 2015. According to the methodology, indicator tubes are placed for a certain period of time (two weeks) in a pre-selected places of different settlements. It takes samples of different pollutants (nitrogen and sulfur dioxides, ozone and benzol). The following piles are analyzed in Accredited Laboratory of United Kingdom. The assessment of the concentrations of accepted concentrations is carried out by the harmonized system with the EU atmospheric air quality indexes.
