Improving the Quality of the Air Environment Through the Greening of Urbanized Territories on the Example of Improvement of Social Facilities

Abstract

The issues of improving the air environment of microdistricts through the formation of park zones and the development of peripheral lands of urban districts are considered. The rating of tree species that make the greatest contribution to the enrichment of the atmosphere has been compiled. Formulas for calculating the oxygen consumption of a person with regard to age and physical activities are proposed, which determine the required areas of landscaping for restoring the gas-air balance depending on the number of people at the facilities. For the formation of arrays of planting to protect against noise, an expression is obtained that determines the level of suppression of sound load depending on the width of the designed forest belt. Calculations of oxygen consumption by students and the required area for planting trees to restore balance are made using the example of a comprehensive school project for the Zheleznodorozhny district of Voronezh. The conclusion is made about low standards for green areas construction and, in this regard, the need for organizations related to cities, park areas, significantly increasing the size of forests.
