Abstract (AI)
The article considers the issues of air pollution assessment in Russian industrial regions (2014) and cities (2012). The statistical data is presented both in terms of absolute emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere of Russian cities and relative air pollution calculated for 1 average statistical inhabitant. Classifications of the ecological state of Russian cities on the basis of specific (per inhabitant) air pollution and the air pollution by predominant type source (stationary or non-stationary) are proposed.
Key Findings
1
A separate classification distinguishes cities by the predominant pollution source: stationary or non-stationary sources.
2
Pollutant emissions are analyzed both as absolute quantities and as relative pollution per average statistical inhabitant.
3
The study assesses air pollution in Russian industrial regions using data from 2014 and in Russian cities using data from 2012.
4
The study proposes classifying Russian cities according to specific per-capita air pollution levels.
