Abstract

The retrospective and current state of atmospheric air quality in the Kharkiv agglomeration was considered. The results of monitoring of atmospheric air quality in recent years have been studied. The research of the existing system state of observation and monitoring of atmospheric air in the city of Kharkiv was conducted. The procedure for organizing atmospheric air quality observations abroad is given. The measures are proposed to bring the current monitoring system into compliance with European standards and the requirements of legislative and regulatory documents of Ukraine.
It is necessary to determine a refined list of enterprises that exert the greatest man-made load on the agglomeration of the city of Kharkiv as a whole, to adjust the locations of stationary monitoring posts for atmospheric air pollution in the city of Kharkiv in order to ensure better quality monitoring, in particular in residential areas.
It is necessary to update the existing monitoring system, namely the arrangement of new indicative observation posts on the state of the atmospheric air, which will make it possible to conduct observations at these posts online for: CO, SO2, NOx, O3, PM2.5, PM10.
In order to observe the state of the atmospheric air in places where there are no stationary posts, but there is an influence of industrial facilities, it is necessary to use route observation posts (fixed observation points), which must be monitored by a mobile analytical laboratory.
Information on the state of atmospheric air pollution should be available to executive authorities and all sections of the population, therefore, it is necessary to design and create an information and analytical system for monitoring the quality of atmospheric air.
