In the destruction of chemical weapons initiated in the Russian Federation in 1996, environmental safety issues played a key role in the creation of facilities for storing and destroying chemical weapons. The process of destroying chemical weapons is at the stage of eliminating consequences of activities and involving former destruction facilities in the economic turnover. The issue of development of safety systems is relevant. The purpose of the article is to study problems in the system of environmental safety insurance at chemical weapons destruction facilities and to identify possible ways of further development. The main methods used are analysis of information, induction, analogies, and generalization. The following conclusions were drawn: the environmental safety system fits into the system of safety insurance; the key subsystem is highly accurate and prompt environmental monitoring. Responding to the principles of the construction of head systems, complex monitoring systems were created at chemical weapons destruction facilities. The improvement of this subsystem can improve the environmental safety at these facilities; further development of the integrated environmental monitoring system requires the methods of data analysis and processing tools. Since the result of the monitoring system is information, its processing and interpretation is the most complex and time-consuming process. The use of modern information processing tools can reduce the time for an analysis, improve the quality, and create an information base for decision support systems in the environmental safety system. The research made it possible to outline further ways to improve the environmental safety systems at chemical weapons destruction facilities, which will further ensure the environmental safety and sustainability of chemical weapons destruction facilities and other potentially dangerous facilities that affect the environment.

The article deals with the development of the mobile environmental monitoring system and the peculiarities of algorithm design using aerospace technologies. The authors have proposed the methodology for designing the ecological risk zones based on the ranking methods of ecological indexes with the multi-criteria environmental safety assessment of the ecosystem, based on the use of multispectral characteristics of the space image. The methodology for defining the ecological risk zones has been proposed, which is based on the ranking methods of ecological indexes using one of cluster analysis tools – the hierarchy analysis method. The proposed approach can be efficiently used to define the ecological risk zones, choose the ways of the ecological rehabilitation of damaged areas and construct the prospective ecologically clean and safe regions. The proposed methodology for synthesizing the ecological risk zone based on the multi-criteria selection has been studied on the example of defining the most dangerous zone after the environmental monitoring. The article proposes the research and methodological basis, which helps to define the ecological risk zones directly based on the set of ecological indexes and turning the criteria into the complex (scalar) index. The prospective to develop the proposed approach is to improve it so that it could take into account the instability and stochasticity of the ecosystems under consideration. The authors have proposed to assess the risk of threats to the ecological, natural and technogenic safety of the regions. The intensity of emergencies has been statistically estimated in the article. The probabilities of the threatening environmental situation and safety functions of the considered ecological risk zone have been defined. The approach, considered in this article, will help to improve the efficiency of managerial decisions on ensuring the environmental safety, to find the best compromise between the contradictory quality indexes of system operation, to select and substantiate the priority directions for the development of complex ecosystems. The article provides the necessary research and practical recommendations for applying the mobile system of aerospace environmental monitoring.

Analysis of informational provision level of complex environmental monitoring system in surveillance zones of Ukrainian NPPs was carried out. It was established that different subsystems are used for solution of monitoring tasks. The systems are separated, heterogeneous, hardware-software incompatible, and aimed at observation and state assessment of specific components of the environment and natural resources. Such situation is not in compliance with the up-to-date European requirements and standards for environmental monitoring information systems in areas of influence of man-made facilities. It is demonstrated that solution of this problem is possible by developing an information and analytical expert system for evaluation of NPP environmental impact on the environment (EcoIES). The main tasks that will be solved by EcoIES and its specific functions during emergencies or corresponding emergency exercises were described. The main requirements for the system are consistency, openness, standardization and adaptation. Specific requirements are the completeness and hierarchy of information, comprehensive integration and rational use, semantic unity, compatibility of system components, integrated security. Three options of conceptual approaches to creation of EcoIES have been developed, each of which is characterized by its structure, level of hardware-software provision and organization of information exchange. The option, which to major extent is in compliance with the European requirements has been substantiated, and which allows to fully solve radiation and environmental safety tasks, as well as civil protection of population, territories and the environment in the surveillance zones of Ukrainian NPPs. Therefore, this approach is recommended for further practical implementation at NPPs in Ukraine. The basic scheme of structural organization and interconnections between the EcoIES and other subjects of environmental monitoring that are part of the State environmental monitoring system has been developed.

According to the distinguishing feature and requirement of vehicle environmental safety monitoring, the application of vehicle operating conditions monitoring with WSN technology is researched. In this paper, we propose a solution of vehicle driving environmental monitoring based on wireless communication network. Also, we will discuss the data acquisition, transmission technology, and the testing and analysis of applications with the WSN monitoring system we build.

This research aims to develop an automatic unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based indoor environmental monitoring system for the acquisition of data at a very fine scale to detect rapid changes in environmental features of plants growing in greenhouses. Due to the complexity of the proposed research, in this paper we proposed an off-board distributed control system based on visual input for a micro aerial vehicle (MAV) able to hover, navigate, and fly to a desired target location without considerably affecting the effective flight time. Based on the experimental results, the MAV was able to land on the desired location within a radius of about 10 cm from the center point of the landing pad, with a reduction in the effective flight time of about 28%.

In order to protect the components of monitoring, some measures should be taken when refuge chamber uses outside environmental monitoring system. This paper designs a kind of protective device for outside environmental monitoring system based on related theory analysis and coal mine environment. It can protect monitoring components from gas explosion shock wave. Meantime there is good contact between sensitive element and outside environment to guarantee the normal work of the monitoring system. Finally, this paper builds the model of protective device, and analyses its structural strength.

ensor nodes vulnerable becomes a major bottleneck restricting the wide application of wireless sensor networks WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks). In order to satisfy the needs of industrial production and daily living environment monitoring, it is important to improve the survivability of wireless sensor networks in environmental monitoring application. In order to have a reliable environment monitoring system, this paper analyzed the damage types and causes of WSNs and the measurement methods of WSNs survivability. Then, we studied the fault detection method and finally realized the design can improve the survivability of the scheme. The robust guarantee scheme through hardware design and algorithm model, realized the remote wireless communication services and prolonged the network life cycle, so as to improve the survivability of the environmental monitoring system.
