“…Існуюча система державного моніторингу не дозволяє в повній мірі отримати об'єктивну інформацію про якість атмосферного повітря [2]. Мережі стаціонарних постів для відбору проб атмосферного повітря не охоплюють в повній мірі необхідний обсяг та перелік забруднюючих речовин [3].

The air quality monitoring system in industrial cities is one of the systems for responding to risk factors in the public health system. The purpose of the study is, on the basis of a hygienic assessment of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks from exposure to specific pollutants in the cities of Dnipro, Kamenskoye, Kryvyi Rih, to substantiate a program for regional monitoring of atmospheric air quality. Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, the results of air quality studies in the largest industrial cities of the Dnipropetrovsk region – Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih and Kamenskoe for the period 2005-2019 were analyzed in terms of phenol, formaldehyde, benzene, xylene and toluene, and carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks to public health were calculated in these cities. Results and discussion. According to the results of the study, individual carcinogenic risks in all three cities in terms of formaldehyde are medium, and in terms of benzene are high. The population carcinogenic risk ranges from 200-269 additional cases of cancer from exposure to formaldehyde and 3727-4426 additional cases of cancer from chronic inhalation exposure to benzene. The calculation of non-carcinogenic risks identified the priority specific air pollutants in the cities under study, as well as the main target organs. So the main systems that are influenced by the action of the studied chemicals are the central nervous system, the general development of the body and the blood system. Based on the risk assessment, it was established that it is necessary to include the Kamenskoye metro station for regional monitoring. It is necessary to include all pollutants from List A to the minimum list of investigated chemicals, and for the city of Dnipro and Kamenskoye it is additionally necessary to carry out studies of phenol, formaldehyde and toluene and in the city of Kryvyi Rih – formaldehyde and toluene. The mechanism of data processing and interaction between the subjects of monitoring has been substantiated for the timely identification of risks and the development of necessary preventive measures for risk management. Conclusion. It was found that carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks in industrial cities of the Dnipropetrovsk region are not acceptable. The existing monitoring system does not fully comply with the current requirements. The minimum program of the regional air quality monitoring system in the Dnipropetrovsk region has been scientifically substantiated

The aim: To assess pollution level of ambient air (РМ10, РМ2.5), related to war actions on the territory of Kyiv city and the region for prioritization of medical and environmental problems hazard assessments for the human health. Materials and methods: Physical and chemical methods of analysis (РМ10, РМ2.5 – gas analyzers APDA–371, APDA-372 HORIBA); human health risk assessment; statistical data processing methods (StatSoft STATISTICA 10.0 portable, Microsoft® Excel 2019). Results: There were found unusually high average daily levels of ambient air pollution: РМ10 – in March (125.5 μg/m3) and August (99.3 μg/m3); РМ2.5 – in March (108.2 μg/m3), May (23.3 μg/m3), June (24.6 μg/m3) and August (27.1 μg/m3), which were primarily due to the conduct of active war actions and their consequences (fires, rocket attacks) and intensified in the spring-summer period adverse weather conditions. Possible social losses of the population in the form of additional deaths due to inhalation of PM10 and PM2.5, the maximum could be in the range of eight cases per 10,000 people to seven cases per 100 people. Conclusions: Conducted research can be used to assess the determination of damage and losses caused to the ambient air and the human health of Ukraine as a result of military actions; justification of the adaptation measures choice (environmental protection and preventive direction) and reducing health-related costs.
