IMPACT ON HUMANS OF POLLUTANTS IN MOSCOW

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the levels of public health risk from exposure to vari-ous pollutants, such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur, hydrogen sul-fide, ozone, formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, methane and phenol on the territory of Moscow. It is shown that all the considered pollutants cause harm tothe human body. Averaged data were ob-tained, for the period from 2008-2020, the calculated values indicate a significant level of risk of developing diseases in the residents of the capital that lead to damage to the endocrine system. Causing diseases leading to metabolic disorders in the body, respiratory organs and skin, as well as subcutaneous tissue. Thus, diseases of the endocrine system and metabolic disorders in residents of Moscow, during the period under review, are most influenced by nitrogen oxide and dioxide, carbon monoxide and phenol. Carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, toluene and phe-nol have the greatest influence on respiratory diseases in humans. The diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue are most affected by carbon monoxide, phenol, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. In this paper, a forecast of the volume of pollutants for 2024 is made. The data obtained indicate that there will be an increase in the concentration of pollutants such as formaldehyde, methane and phenol. Which will lead to adverse effects, both on the soil and on the human body. On the other hand, the results obtained indicate that there is a positive trend towards a decrease in the concentration of carbon monoxide and nitrogen, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, ozone, benzene and toluene.
