Abstract. The article describes the results of scientific research in the sphere of urban techno-sphere pollution caused by industrial enterprises activity and vehicles gases. It is shown that transport influences greatly the air environment pollution in Russian cities. Methodological approaches to assessing the health risks for urban residents are described. The main statements of the methodology managing the health risks of the urban population are given.

The paper presents the study on modeling of objects and processes to forecast environmental safety in industrially developed regions of Russia. It is shown that the sources of pollution of the regional environment form a complex technogenic system triggering the development of qualitatively new negative processes violating comfortable living conditions of the local population. The complexity and scientific uncertainty of environmental impacts caused the development of modern methods of analysis of environmental safety in the region. The purpose of experimental and theoretical study was to develop a rational complex of modeling procedures ensuring reliable forecast as a basis of efficient solution to manage regional environmental condition. The above purpose was achieved via joint use of such mathematical methods as the integrated system analysis, synthesis of alternatives, algorithmization of processes and generalization of experimental data.

The article points out that exhaustion of fossil stocks of fuel and negative impacts of fuel burning on environment determined a significant interest in technologies of heat utilization of low-potential sources in many developed countries of the world. Therefore the solution of the problem of using heat utilization technologies of low-potential sources will be of great importance for preserving people's habitats. In Russia, the most promising area of using unconventional energy sources is heat supply systems of houses and buildings. The conducted analysis shows that one of the effective directions of energy saving is heat pump systems of heat supply, using the most available low potential heat source of flooded massif of soil. It is noted that a huge energy potential of water pumped from closed mines is practically unused because of considerable distance of heat consumers from water purification complexes.

Some manufacturing processes are accompanied by significant noise and vibration. Sources of intense noise and vibration are machines and mechanisms with unbalanced rotating masses, as well as technological installations and apparatuses in which the movement of gases and liquids occurs at high speeds and has a pulsating character. The modern development of technology, equipping enterprises with powerful and fast-moving machines and mechanisms leads to the fact that people are constantly exposed to noise of increasing intensity. Increasing noise and vibration in the workplace has a harmful effect on the human body. As a result of prolonged exposure to noise, the normal activity of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, digestive and hematopoietic organs is disturbed, and professional hearing loss develops, the progression of which can lead to complete hearing loss.Among industrial hazards, noise and vibration occupy one of the leading places among production hazards. The harmful effects of increased noise levels on the human body are well khown, therefore, the relevance of this problem is obvious.
