“…Carcinogenic risk assessment of atmospheric air is also given for Chita, where the population risk is characterized as elevated and makes 56.6 cases/year. The growth rate of cancer incidence is higher than in the country as a whole 3 .…”

“…The European Standard of 1976, widely used by WHO and Rosstat, was taken as reference. The comparison of these indicators was carried out in relation to Lipetsk -the city with the lowest level of pollution in this group of cities and the absence of significant health risks of the population from emissions from industrial enterprises of the city [2,3].…”

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,

Следует отметить, что, в отличие от постов Росгидромета, посты социально-гигиенического мониторинга характеризуют зоны наибольших уровней риска для здоровья, что обеспечивает систематические наблюдения за уровнем наибольших угроз и опасностей [18][19][20].…”

It is important to estimate effectiveness and results achieved by measures implemented within the ‘Clean Air’ Federal project as regards public health in cities included into it. The aim of this study was to analyze changes in levels of ambient air pollution and airborne health risks in cities included into the ‘Clean Air’ Federal project in dynamics over 2020–2022 and to estimate whether the measures aimed at reduction of emissions were adequate to risk rates and factors. The study relied on analyzing the results of field observations over ambient air quality within social and hygienic mon-itoring. Monitoring covered priority chemicals that made 95 % contributions to impermissible health risks according to dis-persion calculations. Risk assessment was performed as per standard algorithms and indicators. Adequacy of air protection and correctness of its orientation were estimated in Norilsk as an example city. The study established that levels of harmful chemicals in ambient were higher than hygienic standards over the analyzed period in all the cities participating in the project. We did not detect any significant reduction in ambient air pollution; there were no positive trends in health risks rates either. In 2022, a risk of respiratory diseases under chronic exposure was ranked as high (hazard index or HI 10.5÷43) in Chelyabinsk, Mednogorsk, Norilsk, Krasnoyarsk, Lipetsk, and Chita; it was ranked as ‘alerting’ in Bratsk, Chita, Novokuznetsk, Magnitogorsk, and Omsk (HI 4.0÷5.8), A permissible risk was identified over the analyzed period only in Cherepovets (HI<3). So far, reductions in emissions of pollutants declared by economic entities have not ensured absence of impermissible health risks in 11 out of 12 cities. Ungrounded orientation to a 20 % reduction in emissions of all the economic entities included in the experiment and failure to consider risk indicators when setting quotas for emissions can lead to absence of any substantial effects for public health in the analyzed cities. In some cases, this may even result in excessive spending on activities that do not have any significant influence on a sanitary-hygienic situation.

“…Ambient air quality in the analyzed cities was estimated over the period 2020-2022 relying on socialhygienic monitoring data. It is noteworthy that, opposed to Rosgidromet posts, social-hygienic monitoring posts are usually located in zones with the highest health risks thereby providing systemic observations of the greatest hazards and threats [18][19][20].…”
