“…Still, it is noteworthy that the Federal Law 'On sanitary-epidemiological welfare of the population' 12 gives chief state sanitary inspectors and their deputies the power to introduce suggestions on implementation of activities aimed at improving a sanitary-epidemiological situation and on public health protection to executive authorities at any level in public administration. It is advisable and important to use this power, including activities conducted within the 'Clean Air' Federal project.…”

“…The latter is also associated with the fact that regulatory and methodical documents on the system for setting quotas do not envisage assessment of residual health risks or estimation whether any implemented activity has been effective as per health risk indicators. Absence of such estimation can result in insufficient or excessive expenses borne by economic entities and wasted on activities that hardly yield any results and / or lower social and medicaldemographic significance of decisions made by authorities [11,12]. At the same time, it seems advisable not only to estimate effectiveness of activities that have already been implemented but also to perform predictive analysis of action plans and programs in order to identify whether they are relevant to the structure, levels and spatial distribution of public health risks on a given territory.…”

The study was conducted due to the necessity to streamline management of ambient air quality in large industrial cities in the country. The relevant tasks were set within the ‘Clean Air’ Federal project and the system for setting emission quotas. The aim was to develop scientific-methodical approaches that would support Rospotrebnadzor in performing its functions and duties as regards management of ambient air quality, including those accomplished within the ‘Clean Air’ Federal project. We took into account that initial data for the whole system for setting emission quotas were represented by aggregated calculation of pollutant dispersion. The study relied on input and output data provided by the ‘Ekolog-Gorod’ software package for calculating ambient air pollution. This software employs methods for calculating emission diffusion in ambient air that are applied as standards in Russia. Calculations were accomplished at points located within residential areas in the analyzed cities and covered not less than 20 major contributions made by emission sources to levels of each chemical at each calculation point. Airborne health risks were assessed in accordance with the valid methodical documents. We applied the following criteria for permissible (acceptable) risks: carcinogenic ones should not exceed 1.0•10-4; non-carcinogenic chronic and / or acute risks should be at a level of a hazard index for chemicals with the same effects equal to 3.0. The brunch and bound method of linear programming was applied to substantiate optimal regulatory impacts aimed at minimizing health risks by reducing emissions into ambient air. We developed a fundamental algorithm for identifying a list of priority pollutants and a list of objects for setting emission quotas, as well as for substantiating optimal regulatory impacts to mitigate airborne public health risks. We suggest ranking chemicals as priority pollutants in case their registered levels are higher than the established hygienic standards and they in total account for not less 95 % of contributions to unacceptable health risks for critical organs and systems at least at one calculation point. Priority objects are those that are responsible for not less than 95 % of unacceptable health risks and violations of the established hygienic standards. The study describes a developed and tested instrument for selecting optimal regulatory impacts as per relevant hygienic indicators, including levels of public health risks. The suggested approaches support the Sanitary Service in its effort to provide proper quality of ambient air. They make it possible to identify priority chemicals and objects for setting emission quotas on the unified methodical basis for any city on the country, including those listed within the ‘Clear Air’ Federal project as priority ones. They also allow estimating whether environmental protection activities are relevant to the essence and levels of public health risks.

“…Динамика стандартизованных коэффициентов смертности от новообразований в городах с разным уровнем загрязнения атмосферного воздуха, 2000-2018 гг., на 100 тысяч населения (а -мужчины, б -женщины) с позиции их эффективности для улучшения здоровья жителей рассматриваемых городов. Первые результаты оценки риска здоровью при снижении выбросов в Красноярске показали крайне малую эффективность выполненных мероприятий по снижению выбросов: риск снизился только для группы 4,8 тысячи человек [7], что в городе с населением 1,1 млн человек, возможно, окажется полезным только для 0,4 % жителей.…”

“…Let's review the planned and partially implemented activities of «Clean air» project from the perspective of their effectiveness in improving the health of residents of the cities under consideration. The first results of the health risk assessment for emission reduction in Krasnoyarsk showed extremely low efficiency of the implemented emission reduction measures, the risk was reduced only for the group of 4.8 thousand people [7] that in a city with a population of 1.1 million may be useful only for 0.4 percent of residents.…”

“…As stated in the National program «Bronchial Asthma in Children. Treatment strategy and prevention», the current genetic studies have proven the role of hereditary predisposition to bronchial asthma development, but the endotype implementation is associated with environmental factors 7 . Indeed, fine particles present in the ambient air of any residential area, and especially of the industrial cities under consideration, are the risk factors for respiratory diseases development in children.…”

Our research goal was to assess expected efficiency of «Clean air» Federal project with its activities aimed at reducing ambient air contamination and population health risks.We revealed that finding solutions to the project tasks on emissions reduction that had been set without taking into account peculiarities of city design, development, landscapes, meteorological conditions, and other factors, would not result in improved ambient air quality. Road and transport systems are to be modernized basing on transport flows modeling and application of calculations taking into account transport flows structure, speed, and intensity as well as some other parameters. Analysis of standardized death rate (SDR) in 2000-2018 revealed the highest total mortality in Chita against a reference city, Lipetsk; mortality due to respiratory diseases was higher in Bratsk,
