Abstract

The purpose of the study is to assess the environmental risk to public health due to aerotechnogenic pollution of the cities of the Central Chernozem region of Russia. The study used data for 2018–2023 provided by the regional divisions of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Central Chernozem Administration for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring" – Voronezh, Belgorod and Lipetsk Centers for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring. The reliability of differences in the average concentrations of atmospheric pollutants (M±m, where m is the statistical error of the arithmetic mean) in industrial and residential areas was estimated using the Student's t-test with a probability of a statistical error of 5 % (α = 0.05). Non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks due to aerotechnogenic pollution were quantified. It has been established that the average long-term concentrations of atmospheric pollutants in industrial areas of cities are significantly higher than in residential areas (tac. > table t at α = 0.05). Of the six monitored indicators – concentrations of suspended solids, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, phenol, and formaldehyde – the highest values of non-carcinogenic risks in cities are typical for formaldehyde and suspended solids. At the same time, the values of non-carcinogenic risks for these substances are classified as dangerous. The values of individual carcinogenic risks from exposure to formaldehyde are classified as acceptable, but the greatest concern is caused in the city of Voronezh.
