Assessment of the impact of technogenic air pollution on the social processes of large urbanized regions

Abstract

According to the Federal Information Fund for Social and Hygienic Monitoring FCFHE of Rospotrebnadzor air pollution in urbanized cities of Central Russia was studied. The most toxic anthropogenic pollutants and regions with the highest excesses of the maximum one-time and daily average maximum permissible concentrations of anthropogenic pollutants in the urban environment were identified. To assess the impact of technogenic air pollution on the medical and demographic processes of large urban areas in the GIS environment in the studied territories of Central Russia, we studied the dynamics of the general mortality of the population from malignant neoplasms of various organs, as well as the dynamics of mortality from leukemia. Studies have shown that a number of medical demographic processes directly correlate with atmospheric pollution by anthropogenic pollutants.

“…Currently, the contribution of motor transport to the pollution of the biosphere of the Donetsk region is considered dominant and amounts to 72.7% of the total volume of pollutants entering the urban environment [1][2]. The rapid growth of the fleet of cars observed in recent years has caused a sharp deterioration of the environmental situation in the Donetsk region.…”

Remote monitoring of factors determining the environmental safety of urban areas

“…The urban environment of modern urbanized territories is a complex multicomponent system, the functioning of which is carried out both under the influence of interrelated factors and conditions, and autonomous (often conflicting with other factors) substances. Sustainable development of residential landscapes is possible only with a compromise interaction of all its elements [1,2].…”

“…Ensuring the ecological safety of the urban environment involves working with large arrays of spatial and temporal data, the collection and analysis of which in the Russian Federation is successfully carried out by both environmental services and ecologistspractitioners, using mainly methods of ground-based environmental monitoring [1,5,6]. The large-scale development of satellite technologies currently observed makes it possible to use Earth remote sensing data to monitor the factors affecting the ecological safety of the territory [2].…”

“…Technologies for remote monitoring of the environment are more cost-effective compared to ground-based methods of environmental control, allow significant savings in time resources by conducting more studies over the same time interval [1,7,8]. At the same time, it should be noted that the accuracy of the studies performed is higher for ground-based monitoring technologies [2,9,10].…”

“…Thus, the described conditions determine the relevance of using remote monitoring data in assessing the environmental safety of the urban environment, and their comparison with ground-based monitoring data makes it possible to make scientifically based management decisions [2].…”
