“…Currently, the contribution of motor transport to the pollution of the biosphere of the Donetsk region is considered dominant and amounts to 72.7% of the total volume of pollutants entering the urban environment [1][2]. The rapid growth of the fleet of cars observed in recent years has caused a sharp deterioration of the environmental situation in the Donetsk region.…”

The sorption capacity of some types of ornamental herbaceous plants was studied under conditions of controlled soil contamination with lead ions in order to obtain species-hyperaccumulators of heavy metals that can be recommended for phytoremediation of soils of technogenic environment. The concept of using plants to restore a polluted environment is not new. More than 300 years ago, plants were proposed to be used in wastewater treatment. The use of plants to restore the environment has been called “green reclamation”, “botanical bioremediation”, etc. In essence, phytoremediation includes a person's ability to enhance the natural inactivation or restoration of contaminated sites and, as a result, is a process that occupies an intermediate position between technical and natural restoration. Studies have shown that the greatest sorption capacity was noted in seedlings of Brassica napus L. and Ricinus commúnis L., the lowest sorption capacity was shown by seedlings of Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth. The lowest ability to accumulate heavy metal ions was shown by seedlings of Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth., whose metal transfer factor is 0.78, so we cannot recommend this type for the technology of phytoremediation of soils of the technogenic region. In Brassica napus L. and Ricinus commúnis L. the metal transfer factor for lead is almost equal to 1, which makes it possible to attribute this plant species to heavy metal hyperaccumulators and recommend it for use in phytoremediation technology of soils contaminated with lead ions.

“…The urban environment of modern urbanized territories is a complex multicomponent system, the functioning of which is carried out both under the influence of interrelated factors and conditions, and autonomous (often conflicting with other factors) substances. Sustainable development of residential landscapes is possible only with a compromise interaction of all its elements [1,2].…”

“…The main and non-alternative condition for sustainable development is to improve the quality of life of the population, but in achieving this task, attention should be paid to another important factor -the environmental safety of the territory. Thus, the derivative of the growth of the intellectual industrial potential in the second half of the 20th century in the developed countries of the world was the pollution of the urban environment with anthropogenic pollutants, which led to the emergence of environmentally caused diseases of the population [1,3,4].…”

“…Ensuring the ecological safety of the urban environment involves working with large arrays of spatial and temporal data, the collection and analysis of which in the Russian Federation is successfully carried out by both environmental services and ecologistspractitioners, using mainly methods of ground-based environmental monitoring [1,5,6]. The large-scale development of satellite technologies currently observed makes it possible to use Earth remote sensing data to monitor the factors affecting the ecological safety of the territory [2].…”

“…Technologies for remote monitoring of the environment are more cost-effective compared to ground-based methods of environmental control, allow significant savings in time resources by conducting more studies over the same time interval [1,7,8]. At the same time, it should be noted that the accuracy of the studies performed is higher for ground-based monitoring technologies [2,9,10].…”

Remote monitoring of factors determining the environmental safety of urban areas

On the example of the cities of Central Russia, a spatial assessment of the environmental safety factors of the urban environment based on the materials of remote sensing of the Earth was carried out. The data source was multichannel satellite images taken from the Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 satellites for the period from 2015 to 2022. To assess the dynamic characteristics over a twenty-year period, satellite images of the studied territories from the Landsat-7 satellite for the period from 1999 to 2001 were used. To assess the level of anthropogenic load exerted on the studied territories, 4 zones were identified – with a strong anthropogenic load; with an average anthropogenic load; natural framework; hydrological objects. The largest territory is occupied by areas with an average anthropogenic load, which includes low-rise buildings, agricultural landscapes. Most of this area falls on agricultural fields located near the city. The specific weight of the natural framework is from 8 to 12% of the study area, which is not sufficient to ensure environmental safety. The assessment of the dynamic characteristics of anthropogenic load in all the studied territories shows an increase in zones with a strong anthropogenic load due to the reduction of territories with an average anthropogenic load, which is explained by socioeconomic reasons for the development of these territories. As a positive aspect, it is necessary to highlight the increase in the natural framework zone on the territory of the Voronezh city district over a twenty-year period.

The technology of using the indicative properties of plants both for obtaining scientific results and teaching this technique to students and young scientists is proposed for implementation. Aspects of research organization and didactic work in the implementation of the environmental monitoring program of Donbass are highlighted. Over the period of research (1996-2023), high levels of pollution and anthropogenic transformation of ecosystems in the industrial areas of Eastern Europe have been established. The data are based both on experiments in open landscapes and laboratory conditions, special procedures for statistical processing and interpretation of the results. These localities of intensive economic use are the places of great scientific and applied interest to ecologists and educators in this area. Indicator plants are visual objects in the knowledge of the fundamental nature and practical use for information about the quality of the environment. In scientific and educational activities the following are important: organization of a laboratory, availability of equipment, functioning of a museum, a card-index, a herbarium fund, the possibility of introducing case studies technology, the theory of solving inventive tasks, conducting interactive lectures, seminars, demonstration experiments and special modern technologies for training environmental specialists – modeling and land-use forecasting and urbanized environment. Methods of implementation of scientific and pedagogical experiment on phytomonitoring and ecological expertise with the help of plants have been introduced into work with students, postgraduates and young scientists of the Department of Botany and Ecology of Donetsk State University.
