Minor towns with population size of 50-100 thousand people are much rarely studied in regards of the ecological-hygienic assessment of human environment, in spite of the fact that they are characterized by specific ecological problems. The objective of the study was the hygienic assessment of the impact of urban environment on population health status in Tikhvin and Gatchina towns of the Leningrad region. Morbidity rate in the population of Tikhvin and Gatchina in 2005-2015, atmospheric emissions of industrial enterprises, findings on monitoring for both atmospheric air pollution and centralized drinking water supply, as well as motor transport noise levels were studied. Population health risk stipulated by industrial emissions and noise exposure was calculated. Statistical data treatment with correlation analysis of the relationship between environmental pollution indices and population morbidity was carried out. The study revealed increased atmospheric air pollutant concentrations in Gatchina, which might be connected with motor transport effect. Acute non-carcinogenic risk levels resulting from air pollutants are on the borderline of the admissible level, while in Tikhvin town those values are significantly lower. Estimated concentrations of atmospheric pollutants produced by industrial emissions are by 1.5-2 times lower than the actual levels shown by monitoring. Noise levels and predicted health risks in Gatchina are on the borderline of the admissible level, while in Tikhvin they are significantly reduced. The statistically significant gain in the general primary morbidity rate indices due to respiratory diseases in Gatchina town, correlated with atmospheric air pollution, was revealed. Our study showed that despite the presence of large industrial enterprises in studied towns, motor transport proved to be the key factor that forms air pollution and noise load, more typical of large cities.

The combination of factors that determine the level of atmospheric pollution, the priority harmful component of which is dispersed particles, has a random and unique character for the urbanized territory of «InnoKam». Therefore, to study the process of atmospheric pollution of this urbanized territory, an approach was used that takes into account that the content in the air of dispersed particles of motor transport and industrial origin depends on the nature of the processes of upsurge, propagation and deposition, which are determined by the fractional composition of particles, structural and functional parameters of road traffic flows., climatic and urban features of the territory and meteorological conditions. The aim of the study is to reveal the patterns of air pollution in the urbanized territory of «InnoKam» with dispersed particles, which is relevant and necessary for the effective implementation of measures to create a favorable and comfortable urban environment, as well as the attractiveness of the innovation and production center for visiting specialists and investors. Regularities of air pollution in the urbanized territory of «InnoKam» by dispersed particles, which is formed when pollution from road traffic flows are superimposed on the polluting background of industrial enterprises, have been investigated. Motor transport streams are both independent sources of the formation of dispersed particles, and a source of upsurge and spread of dispersed particles over considerable distances beyond the boundaries of highways. To reveal the regularities and obtain the corresponding mathematical models, both instrumental methods based on measuring the content of dispersed particles DCh 10 and DCh 2.5 in the atmosphere of the investigated urbanized territory, and statistical analysis of experimental data were used. Mathematical models have been obtained that, with a high degree of reliability, describe the regularities of air pollution by dispersed particles for the urbanized territory of «InnoKam», which is the scientific value of the results obtained. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in their use for predicting and compiling air pollution maps with dispersed particles in all parts of the urbanized territory of «InnoKam» in order to develop and substantiate measures to create a favorable and comfortable urban environment. The main activities are analyzed and divided into three groups, based on the specifics of the sources of formation of dispersed particles (vehicles, traffic flows, highways). The ranking of measures for the effectiveness of reducing air pollution by dispersed particles is the object of further research.

The analysis of quality of atmospheric air in Russian cities for 2000-2016 has been carried out. Four cities (Bratsk, Magnitogorsk, Chita and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk) during this period almost every year fell into the “black lists” of Roshydromet – of both chronically and extremely polluted cities. As far as regions are concerned, the cities with high level of atmospheric pollution are allocated in Irkutsk oblast, Krasnoyarsk krai, as well as Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk oblasts. The leading factors of formation of environmental situation in cities depending on their localization, specialization and population size have been revealed: 1) large industrial emissions and transport emissions; 2) emissions of mostly unidentified sources of pollution; 3) high natural potential of atmospheric pollution; 4) “import” of pollution from external sources due to an unfavorable ecological and geographical location. The author believes that the cardinal solution of the problem of dirty air is possible only on the basis of regulation of territorial development of Russia.

The aim of the article is to assess the impact of stationary sources of pollution of the Kyiv agglomeration on the state of its air basin. Atmospheric air pollution is known to be one of the leading elements in assessing the quality of human habitat because it has a detrimental effect on human health. The object of the study is the state of the atmospheric air of the agglomeration. The subject of the study is air pollution by stationary sources, identification of major pollutants, assessment of their man-made load on the air by emissions, by types of harmful substances, taking into account their danger by the values of maximum permissible daily concentrations and hazard class. Scientific and methodological support of monitoring tasks, comprehensive assessment of air pollution of agglomerations, both cities and their rural areas, is becoming increasingly important, especially where there are powerful stationary sources of air pollution. In the course of the research the enterprises – the main air pollutants of the agglomeration were identified, their emissions by types of harmful impurities were analyzed. The calculation of indicators of the hazard category of enterprises (HCE) on the volume of emissions, taking into account the values of the maximum allowable average daily concentrations and the hazard class of pollutants. To conduct a comprehensive assessment of man-made impact on the air, the calculation of the hazard indicator of the emission structure (HES) is proposed and their calculation is performed for certain enterprises. According to the proposed methodological approach, the values of aggregate indicators of man-caused load (MCLI) for stationary sources of pollution by numerical values of their HCE and HES are obtained. They comprehensively reflect the load on the air both due to emissions and due to the danger of harmful substances. Important measures to reduce volumes and improve the risk of emissions of harmful substances at enterprises are also indicated. Undoubtedly, promising methods are the study of air pollution in large cities and agglomerations, which are based on the use of geographic information technologies.

The risk of chemical pollution is assessed by the level of its possible negative impact on the atmosphere, soils, groundwater and surface water, vegetation, animals and humans. The state of atmospheric air in Kharkiv and Kharkiv region is analyzed and it is revealed that atmospheric air pollution comes from mobile and stationary sources of pollution. One of the main sources of pollution is thermal power plants and oil and gas companies. The largest number of emissions from stationary sources is in Zmiiv, Krasnograd, Balakliia, Chuguiv districts and Kharkiv. The largest number of emissions from mobile sources is observed in Kharkiv and Derhachiv districts. The most polluted areas of the city of Kharkiv were identified, especially the central district and the area of the railway station, and the causes of pollution were established. As a result of comparison of the accepted maximum admissible concentrations of chemical substances in Ukraine, the USA and the countries of the European Union it is revealed that the Ukrainian norms are stricter. An analysis of emissions since 1990 found that their 9,14-fold reduction was due to a reduction in production and the closure of some enterprises as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union. The sharp drop in emissions since 2013 is also due to the economic crisis and hostilities in eastern Ukraine. The reduction of emissions is explained not only by the reduction of production volumes, but also by the implementation of air protection measures carried out at the enterprises of the city and the region. There is a close link between pollutant emissions and gross domestic product (GDP) production, which can be used in the future to forecast emissions. Measures aimed at improving the state of atmospheric air in Kharkiv region and the city of Kharkiv are presented.

Introduction. Today, the territory of Ukraine can be divided into urban areas and relatively clean, remote from major sources of industrial pollution, such as the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve (KBR). It should be emphasized that in this case, the analysis is conducted only on the basis of a background approach. Given that there are no ongoing observations on the microcomponent composition of snow pollution, the aim of the work is to assess and analyze the level of snow pollution in 2019 and identify possible sources of pollution. The snow covers of the mountain tops of the KBR protected massifs ‒ Vezha mountain (Uholsko-Shirokoluzhansky), Stig, Dragobrat, Maly Menchul (Svydovetsky) mountains, Petros Chornohirsky mountains, Gropa, Hoverla (Chornohirsky) mountains, Menchul Rakhivsky mountains (Kuziysky), Petros Marmarosky mountain (Marmarosky). Review of previous publications. Since 2010, we have been conducting research on the microcomponent composition of snowfall on the territory of KBR, the results of which are reflected in scientific articles and monographs. Over the past ten years, the results of determining the microcomponent composition of the snow cover KBR presented in articles and monographs by us ‒ "Geochemistry of environmental objects of the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve" and "Ore and man-made geochemical anomalies of protected areas of the Ukrainian Carpathians (for example reserve)h". Purpose. The aim of the study is to assess and analyze the level of pollution (microelement composition) of snow cover of mountain peaks of protected areas KBR - Marmarohs, Chornohirsky, Svydovetsky, Kuziysky and Uholsko-Shirokoluzhansky and identify possible sources of pollution. Research methods. The study of the macrocomponent chemical composition and pH in the water waist is carried out in the laboratories of ecological monitoring of KBR, microelement composition ‒ using the method of mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP‒MS) M.P at the Semenenko Institute of Geochemistry, Mineralogy and Ore Formation of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Results. The coefficients of concentration (Kc) of chemical elements (Be, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Rb, Sr, Cd, Cs, Ba, Tl, Pb, Bi) relative to the background content were used for evaluation. The level of snow cover pollution was classified into categories – scattered (Kc<1), close to average concentrations (Kc 1–3.9), accumulating (Kc> 4–10) and strongly accumulating (Kc>10). As a result of the conducted researches the association of elements-pollutants of a snow cover (melting waters) is received: Pb, V, Ni, Co (mountain Vezha); Ni, Ba, Co (mountain Stig); V, Co, Ni, Ba, Cu (mountain Dragobrat); Zn, Cr (mountain Mali Menchul); Sr (mountain Gropa). In the snow cover of the mountain peaks Tempa, Menchul, Petros Chornohirsky, Petros Marmarosky – no pollution was detected (relative to the background content). As a result of the analysis of emissions (microelement composition) of stationary sources (industrial enterprises) their possible contribution to the pollution of snow cover is substantiated. Conclusions. As a result of detection of elements-pollutants of snow cover of mountain tops and analysis of emissions (associations of microelements) of stationary sources (industrial enterprises) their possible contribution to pollution (microelement composition) of the KBR atmosphere is substantiated, which leads to snow cover pollution.

The influence of exploitation and abandonment of coal mines of the mining complex of Lviv-Volyn coal basin on the ecosystem of the region is considered. The main ecological problems of the territory are analyzed. It is established that the high technogenic pollution of the Chervonograd geological and industrial region is facilitated by the inflow of highly polluted drainage waters from the mine heaps and rock waste heaps of the Chervonograd Central Mining Plant into soils, surface, ground and underground waters. The negative impact of the heaps is caused by the high level of fault tectonics and fracturing of the bedrocks, the flat surface of the area. The influence of technogenic objects on the atmospheric air quality is analyzed. The main causes of the atmospheric air pollution are stationary sources of pollution. Technogenic objects have a significant impact on the quality of the the atmospheric air. The main role in the structure of pollutants belongs to sulphur anhydrite, carbon and nitrogen oxides, dust and soot. The amount of pollutant emissions into the atmospheric air from stationary sources of pollution for Chervonograd and Sokal districts has been analyzed according to the data of the Main Statistics Office in Lviv region. To prevent further deterioration of the ecological situation, it is recommended to form flat heaps, their reclamation and landscaping with the obligatory covering of the surface with a layer of neutral rocks, to keep measures to prevent burning of heaps. To stabilize the situation and to prevent further contamination of soil, surface and underground waters, the stable network of observations on the state of the geological environment, systematic geological and environmental monitoring should be carried out.
