Abstract

The article discusses the technologies for creating a network of public monitoring of the state of atmospheric air pollution in the city, which involves independent monitoring based on resolutions and other guidelines on air quality. It is proposed to introduce public environmental monitoring of atmospheric air quality on the basis of indicative measurement of air quality indicators through sensor sensors. The possibilities of using the Oxygen air quality monitoring station, which allows real-time monitoring and recording of the air condition, namely temperature, humidity, PM2.5 and PM10 dust concentration, CO (carbon monoxide), NO2 (nitrogen oxides) and NH3 (ammonia), are analyzed. It has been shown that the functionality of the Oxygen automatic air quality monitoring station allows not only to obtain operational data on air quality, but also to accumulate big data for assessing and predicting pollution indices and risks to public health using a personal account on the EcoCity website. During the experimental studies, the air quality monitoring station measured the maximum concentrations of CO, NH3, PM10 and PM2.5 in the air that did not exceed the MPCs, while periodically exceeding the concentration of nitrogen dioxide NO2. The data obtained indicate a harmful impact, mainly of vehicles, on the environment and public health in the area. In further studies, it is planned to assess the risks to public health in the Pechersk district of Kyiv in accordance with the guidelines "Assessment of the risk to public health from air pollution", taking into account the indicators of other public monitoring stations located in the study area
