- Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the impact of technology-related factors of the urban environment on population and to establish long-time tasks for business in order to improve the ecological situation. We used the materials from the Federal Budgetary Health Institution “Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology of the Voronezh Region” for 2014-2018. It was established that among the analyzed parameters that determine the complex technology-related load (CL) on the environment – the level of atmospheric air pollution with man-made chemicals, sanitary-chemical parameters of drinking water quality, the level of soil pollution in residential areas, traffic noise – the largest contribution to it is made by air pollution (33.0-58.5%). The assessment of public health risk due to the effects of technology-related factors showed unacceptable risk levels associated with the presence of soot, formaldehyde, chromium+6 compounds, nitrogen dioxide and copper oxide in the air, as well as high and extreme risk levels due to the traffic noise. In the conditions of the city, environmental protection measures are required to reduce the level of the influence of these factors on the population; it can be achieved by the involvement of the participants of city-planning business in solving the environmental problems of the city.
