Abstract
The article considers the method of assessing the ecological condition of the territory of the Zaporozhye region, under the influence of negative factors of different nature. Zaporizhzhia region is one of the busiest regions in terms of industrial potential, which is due to the presence and concentration of enterprises of ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy, thermal power, nuclear energy, chemistry, and mechanical engineering. The region is a leading center of domestic aircraft engine construction, production of transformers and other high-tech products. According to the dynamics of pollutant emissions in Zaporizhia and the region, the largest contribution to air pollution in the Zaporizhia region (60-70%) is made by pollutant emissions from stationary sources of PJSC «Zaporizhstal», PJSC «Dniprospetsstal», PJSC «Ukrainian Graph» and others. Moreover, a significant part of industrial enterprises are located almost in the center of residential buildings, which forms the main man-made load on the environment of settlements. The main air pollutants in the region are ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, thermal power, chemistry, and mechanical engineering, which account for almost 90% of emissions from the total amount of pollutants in the region. The purpose of the presented work is a method of assessing the ecological condition of the territories of the Zaporozhye region. To achieve this goal, an integrated criterion for assessing the ecological condition of the territory was developed. The table of risk indicators and health index for air quality is given, the data of which were compared with the calculations of total air pollution.
