Abstract
In recent decades, the leadership of this country has pursued a policy of improving health of the population of the Russian Federation. The relationship between health of citizens and the state of the environment is obvious to all: we are clean air, water and land. Economic issues are not neglected either. So, economic growth is, above all, growth in production. Pollution of urban ecosystems, especially in single-industry cities, is attributed not only to the main city-forming production, but also to implicit sources of negative impact. To identify such sources, in 2021 the ecopost was established in Magnitogorsk. Its operation is aimed at identifying potential sources of air pollution in the city, study of probable influence of such sources on atmospheric air, drawing of the map of probable sources, and air pollution level assessment. Drawing the map implies two main options: first of all, creation and filling of an interactive map of air pollution in the city with a convenient interface, allowing anyone to learn the air condition in a relevant area, and also building of a map of pollution sources to promptly identify the cause and source of local pollution in case of unforeseen situations. The outcome of the operation is expected to be the development of measures aimed at minimising the negative impact of such sources, improving the urban environment and, therefore, reducing the harm caused to health of city residents. Involvement of the Magnitogorsk enterprises and public organizations will contribute to promptly settling arising problems, taking measures to decrease negative impact of operating facilities on environment.
