Would be nice if they include the people in the science of the air quality, why it's so bad, what makes up the air, the history, and solutions.

I don't want them to just say they're solving it by changing laws or bringing in equipment, i want a full scientific explanation.

does burning trash, construction dust, and overall absolutely ruined ecology, really need science to explain?

Yes, because not everything is from Armenia, some are blown from elsewhere.

We also need to know types of particles, where they're concentrated, which way the wind is blowing, what is being burnt, how much of it is dirt, what mitigation methods are used. All kinds of data.

If not everything is from Armenia, why is only Yerevan affected?

Wind directions, geography, geology, among other things.

Also it's not just Yerevan.
