Air monitoring system of the Krasnoyarsk Science Center SB RAS

Abstract

The paper deals with the problem of monitoring the surface layer of the atmosphere of the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk with a population of one million people in order to study the regularities of the formation of a space-time field of particulate matter concentrations in the air. It is shown that such research can be performed only with the help of a system of scientific monitoring of atmospheric air. The Krasnoyarsk Scientific Center SB RAS air monitoring system is a set of special equipment and software designed to collect and analyze objective data on the state of atmospheric air in Krasnoyarsk. The main task of creating and operating the monitoring system is to form an information and analytical basis for research and development aimed at solving the problems of improving the environmental situation in Krasnoyarsk. The article presents the results of almost two years of experience in the operation of the monitoring system and the main results.
