Abstract

The article presents the results of the dynamic analysis of the atmospheric air quality in the Russian Federation over the past 20 years and the assessment of additional associated morbidity of the population. The results indicate that air pollution levels capable of forming health disorders are systematically declining: share of non-standard samples decreased by 10.5 times and amounted to 0.6 % in 2019, for priority substances it decreased by 3.9–12.9 times and amounted to 1.03–4.83 %. As a result, the additional morbidity associated with air quality has decreased by 2.1 times (in 2019 it was 600.0 0/0000 for all reasons). Respiratory diseases make up the bulk of the structure (69.4 %). More than 20 chemical components are priority risk factors. The unacceptable levels of acute and chronic non-carcinogenic risk were formed in all 12 priority cities (up to 5.39 HI and 24.1 HI respectively). There were 3 cities (Nizhny Tagil, Novokuznetsk, and Norilsk) with unacceptable carcinogenic risk levels: up to 2.92 10–3 for adults and 2.72 10–3 for children. Among the 12 most polluted cities, the largest number of associated diseases of the entire population was formed in Krasnoyarsk, Chelyabinsk, Magnitogorsk (39.000 – 51.200 cases), with relative indicators, in Magnitogorsk, Bratsk, Krasnoyarsk (4.670–9.400 cases per 100 000 people). The greatest contribution was due to respiratory diseases, accounting up to 96.8 %, to circulatory diseases, accounting up to 38.1 %, and digestive diseases, accounting up to 94.9 %.
