C H A P T E R 6. A IR Q U A L IT Y IN T H E R U S S IA N P R O G R A M M E A R E A Atmospheric air is a vital component of the environment, the state o f which is one of the leading factors that determine the human health and epidemiological situation. The Russian programme area is one o f Russia’s most urbanized northern territories and a highly economically developed region o f the Arctic. It is home to large mining, metals, pulp and paper and oil industry enterprises, which have an impact on the environment. Thermal power facilities, including municipal boiler houses, motor, water and rail transport are also sources of air pollution. Natural sources o f air pollution in the Russian programme area include forest fires, dust storms, weathering processes (wind erosion o f soil and rocks), decomposition of organic matter1. Russian legislation in the field o f air protection is represented by a group o f laws2 and stipulates the principles of air quality regulation and requirements to economic activities. We can note the similarity to EU legislation in this field3, for example, doing business based on best available techniques (BAT)4. Taking into account the Russian and the EU legislation, as well as criteria for the development o f BAT? the recommended topics when planning and implementing projects can be: -circu lar economy; -g reener production: -pollution prevention: -cleane r production: -u se of cleaning technologies at the last stage of the production cycle C'end-of-pipe”); -low carbon technologies. The tasks of creating the necessary conditions for maintaining, strengthening and restoring the health o f the residents have been formulated at the federal and regional level. These tasks include eliminating the harmful effect of environmental hazards, including improving the condition o f atmospheric air''. Practical work on development and implementation o f better methods for improving air quality and preventing air pollution can benefit the entire programme area.
