The paper dwells on examining and testing a mechanism for determining exposure to transport noise followed by dividing an area of a large industrial city with population exceeding 1 million people into specific zones as per health risk criteria. Noise spread was modeled with ?Ecolog-NOISE? specialized software basing on a vector map of the city and using geoinformation systems. To create a database on transport noise sources, the authors collected and analyzed data on traffic intensity on city motorways. Basing on...

The present work dwells on testing methodical approaches to optimization of programs for monitoring over ambient air quality. The key issue here was to determine how many control points are required and make up a list of substances for monitoring in a large industrial center with its area exceeding 350 square kilometers and population more than 1 million people. Ambient air quality in the examined city is influenced by more than 150 industrial enterprises operating in metallurgy, civil engineering, chemical indust...

The Russian Federation proposes to impose limits on use of polyphosphates (tripolyphospahte, phosphate compounds, and phosphor) in synthetic detergents in the Eurasian Economic Union. The primary reason for this proposition to make amendments into the EAEU countries legislation is a possible decrease in quality of natural water objects used as drinking water supply sources. When it comes to phosphor derivatives, this deterioration is caused by eutrophication. Analysis of hydrological and hydrochemical data reveale...

The research focused on hygienic assessment of surface and underground water sources used for centralized drinking water supply to RF population over the last 20 years. Official statistic data collected on sanitary situation in RF regions by Rosstat over 2000-2019 were used as a basic source of information. A database has been created; it contains more than 165 thousand data entries on 16 parameters describing surface and underground water sources used for centralized drinking water supply to population in 85 RF r...

Dust emissions from industrial enterprises are often treated as total suspended particles (TSP); and they also quite often contain a wide range of chemical components. Among these components rather hazardous admixtures can be found, such as heavy metals, benzpyrene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc. Structure of emissions in terms of admixtures contained in them is determined by raw materials applied at a specific production, production technologies, structure of an end product, etc. Being suspended, chemical...

The work dwells on finding solutions to a task related to substantiating locations where instrumental measurements should be performed within a program for monitoring over exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in radio-frequency range in a large industrial city with its area exceeding 800 km2 and population being more than 1 million. A database has been created (and bound to a vector map of the city) containing data on 2 011 sources of EMR in radio-frequency range. They were 1 666 basic mobile communication ...
