Background. One of the factors influencing the health of the population, which is the object of one of the federal projects, is atmospheric air. Many studies have established that atmospheric air pollution with chemical impurities can cause the onset of a new or exacerbation of an existing pathology in humans. Purpose. Assess the impact of atmospheric air pollution on the health indicators of the population of the Russian Federation. Materials and methods. The hygienic assessment of atmospheric air quality was carried out using the data from Rospotrebnadzor form 18 for 2012-2021, data from the federal information fund for social and hygienic monitoring. The analysis of the primary morbidity of the population was carried out using statistical collections "The incidence of the entire population of Russia with a diagnosis established for the first time in life" for 2012-2021. The calculation of additional cases of population diseases associated with atmospheric air quality was performed in accordance with Methodological recommendations 5.1.0095-14. Results. For the period 2012-2021 on the territory of the Russian Federation, the share of atmospheric air samples that do not meet hygienic requirements decreased by 1.69 times. Priority substances for which excesses of standards are registered are: benz(a)pyrene, xylene, hydrogen chloride, nickel oxide, ozone, ethenylbenzene, hydrochloride, methanethiol, particulate matter, formaldehyde, etc. Improvement in atmospheric air quality has reduced the number of additional cases of disease from all causes associated with air pollution. The structure of additional morbidity associated with atmospheric air quality is dominated by diseases of the respiratory, digestive, circulatory, and nervous systems. Additional cases of diseases of the population associated with air quality are registered, depending on the class of diseases, in the territories of 22-42 subjects of the Russian Federation. Conclusion. The results obtained can be used in the formation of monitoring programs aimed at reducing priority chemical impurities in the atmospheric air and developing programs for the primary prevention of the population from diseases associated with atmospheric air quality.

Introduction: The relevance of this study is determined by the importance of taking disease prevention and control measures on the basis of complete, reliable, and high-quality information. Method approaches to organizing environmental quality monitoring have been substantiated recently. Objective: To assess organization of environmental quality monitoring and laboratory testing in the populated areas of the Russian Arctic for compliance with modern requirements. Materials and methods: We scrutinized ambient air, water, and soil quality monitoring programs programs for the year 2023 in seven regions of the Russian Arctic. The analysis and visualization were carried out using Microsoft Excel and ESRI ArcGIS 9.3, respectively. Results: In 2023, environmental quality was monitored at 865 sites in 297 settlements of the Russian Arctic. Ambient air quality was monitored at 49 sites in 30 settlements, soil – at 251 sites in 106 settlements, water in the centralized water supply system – at 565 sites, including 280 sites in the distribution network. Two to 12 quality indicators were determined in ambient air, 2 to 20 in soil, and 9 to 31 in water from centralized water supply systems. Discussion: The coverage of the areas under study with environmental quality monitoring varies significantly: from 9 settlements in the Arctic territories of the Krasnoyarsk Krai to 88 in the Murmansk Region. The pronounced difference in the scope of environmental quality monitoring, on the one hand, impedes objective comparison of environmental conditions between the regions and, on the other hand, makes it impossible to link adverse environmental factors with human health effects due to the limited data collected. Conclusion: This is the first comprehensive analysis of organization of ambient air, water, and soil quality monitoring in seven regions of the Russian Arctic. We have prepared recommendations for updating environmental quality monitoring programs taking into account modern requirements.

Introduction: When selecting the most hazardous pollutants for inclusion in air quality monitoring programs, it is important to consider criteria of population health risk. Objective: To substantiate the list of priority air pollutants for 10 new cities of the Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk Regions enrolled in the Clean Air Federal Project using the index of comparative hazard to population health and results of air quality testing to elaborate monitoring programs for the period until the results of summary calculations for the territory are obtained. Materials and methods: We used data provided by the Federal Supervisory Natural Resources Management Service (Rosprirodnadzor) on actual annual emissions (Form No. 2-TP (Air) for 2022) from sources of air pollution located in the cities of Angarsk, Achinsk, Zima, Irkutsk, Lesosibirsk, Minusinsk, Svirsk, Usolye-Sibirskoye, Cheremkhovo, and Shelekhov. Compliance with sanitary and epidemiological requirements for ambient air quality was established based on data from monitoring sites of the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring (Roshydromet) and the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing (Rospotrebnadzor) for 2020–2022. To substantiate the lists of air pollutants to be monitored within the framework of public health surveillance, we ranked chemicals according to Russian Risk Assessment Guidelines R 2.1.10.3968–23. Results: Based on the results of assessing contributions to the total index of comparative carcinogenic hazard, certain chemicals were proposed to be included into monitoring programs due to their carcinogenic potential when inhaled (acetaldehyde, benzo(a)pyrene, benzene, buta-1,3-diene, lead, carbon, formaldehyde, chromium (IV), etc.). Evaluation of percent contributions to the total index of comparative non-carcinogenic hazard revealed the need to expand monitoring programs to include the following highly hazardous chemicals: dialuminum trioxide, dihydrosulfide, dimethylamine, manganese and its compounds, sulfuric acid, fluorides, and chlorine. According to the findings, 10 to 24 pollutants were recommended for inclusion in the 2023–2024 public health surveillance program. Conclusion: The use of comparative hazard indices and consideration of their contributions to the corresponding total indices of comparative carcinogenic and/or non-carcinogenic hazard allowed us to substantiate the lists of pollutants to be included in the public health surveillance programs in 10 new cities enrolled in the Clean Air Federal Project for 2023–2024 and to expand them by including admixtures posing human health risks.
