The technical (metrological) characteristics of pressure gauges are analyzed in accordance with the requirements of the international and national standards of the Russian Federation. Special features of measuring the pressure of various media and the need to use special technical devices and tools are considered. Significant criteria for the selection of pressure gauges were identified. A simple and understandable algorithm for their selection was developed.

Требования охраны труда и промышленной безопасности в угольной промышленности

The article examines the system of legal and regulatory framework of occupatioal safety and industrial safety for the enterprises in the coal industry. Analysis of the international and Russian legislation showed the close relationship and interdependence of safety regulation in these areas of law. A significant contribution to the development of legal regulation of the occupational safety and industrial (production) safety was made by the conventions of the International Labor Organization. In 1995, the International Labor Organization adopted the Occupational Safety and Health in Mines Convention, which sets the norms relating to both occupational health and safety. In Russia, the key legislative acts regulating relations in the areas under consideration are the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and the Federal Law «On Industrial Safety of Hazardous Production Facilities». The article provides an overview of the functions and powers of the federal executive authorities in the field of occupational safety and industrial safety, and also analyzes the types of regulations establishing requirements in these areas, and the federal norms and rules in the field of industrial safety at the coal industry facilities. Based on the conducted analysis, the following conclusion was made: organizational and technical requirements for occupational safety are in systemic unity with the industrial safety requirements established in federal standards and regulations. Other occupational safety requirements aimed at ensuring a system for preserving the life and health of the employees in the process of work should be established in the Occupational health and safety rules for the employees in the coal industry.

Monitoring Scheme for Safety Hazard Status of Urban Rail Transit Operation Equipment and Facilities Based on Blockchain Technology

Urban rail transit plays a very important role in cities’ social and economic development. To ensure the safe and stable operation of urban rail transit operation equipment and facilities, it is necessary to monitor a large number of safety hazard statuses and data and improve the over-centralisation of traditional monitoring. This paper designs a scheme for storing, validating and monitoring the safety hazard status of urban rail transit operation equipment and facilities based on blockchain technology. The safety hazards of equipment and facilities during the operation stage of urban rail transit are listed using the literature analysis method and the case study method. The European RAMS (reliability, availability, maintainability and safety) standard method is used to determine the safety hazard status of equipment and facilities by availability index. Based on the features of the consensus mechanism, smart contract and other features of blockchain technology, this paper designs an overall scheme for storing, verifying and monitoring the safety hazard status of equipment and facilities. This scheme provides a practical operation method for evaluating the safety hazard status of rail transit equipment and facilities, which is conducive to the safety rectification of the entire urban rail transit.

Temporal trends in sociodemographic composition and land development within U.S. fenceline communities surrounding hazardous industrial facilities: 2001–2019

Unintended releases from industrial facilities can expose fenceline communities to hazardous substances, and distance between facilities and nearby residential development can play a role in preventing exposures. Here, we assess trends in fenceline community sociodemographic characteristics, land development, and the association between the two using sociodemographic data for census tracts (n = 34 068) surrounding 2457 petroleum refining and chemical manufacturing facilities between 2001 and 2019. We find a higher median growth in percentage of Latinx populations among fenceline communities compared to neighboring communities with no industrial facilities. The increase in the median percentage of Latinx populations within fenceline communities was six times higher than for White populations overall (+6 and +1 percentage points, respectively). Though the percentage of the Black populations did not change within fenceline communities over this period, we find a minor sustained higher percentage of Black residents within fenceline communities relative to neighboring communities (20% versus 19%, respectively). Employing a spatial autoregressive model with autoregressive disturbances, we find that an increase in community percentage Latinx population is associated with a decrease in the rate of land development. Comparing fenceline and neighboring communities, we conclude that Black and Latinx populations are disproportionately located near industrial facilities, potentially contributing to inequitable exposure to unintended chemical releases. Our work lends support to the value of considering of sociodemographic composition of fenceline communities when evaluating industrial facility hazards.

Methodological Aspects of Local Natural and Technical System Assessment Based on the Results of Environmental Monitoring

The concept of a natural-technical system is considered as a set of man-made and natural objects located on a single territory is considered. The environmental safety of the natural and technical system is ensured by limiting the negative impact on the environment from a technogenic object. It is noted that the regulation of the negative impact is necessary but not sufficient condition for environmental safety, since it is primarily focused on the implementation of sanitary and hygienic standards in relation to the people’s living or working conditions on the territory of a natural and technical system. The use of sanitary and hygienic maximum allowable concentrations in assessing the transformation of environmental objects is not very informative. It is noted that in the regular functioning conditions of a man-made object, the information basis for assessing negative changes in the environment is the results of environmental monitoring. Environmental monitoring systems are developed mostly for highly hazardous production facilities in terms of organizing the obtaining quantitative data on environmental pollution. The issues of quantitative assessment of the ecological state of the territory have not been adequately considered. The indicators used in the form of aggregated convolutional indices are still focused on sanitary and hygienic standards. In addition, their information content is reduced due to the cross-correlation of indicators used in the calculation in the form of pollutant concentrations. It is noted that objects of flora and fauna are more sensitive to negative impacts, and therefore, along with the quantitative chemical analysis of the pollution of the territory, monitoring of the biotic component of the environment is carried out. At the same time, biomonitoring data are considered as independent results. The relationship between general desirability function in assessing the state of biocenoses and other characteristics of the territory, including its pollution, is usually not studied, which also reduces their informational value. Based on the analysis of the considered materials, it was concluded that for an informative assessment and forecast of the ecological state of the natural and technical system, the development of integral indices of the biotic and abiotic components of the environment in their relationship is required.

О возможности единых и контрпродуктивности одинаковых критериев оценки риска промышленной аварии

The risk-oriented approach in ensuring industrial safety is intended to orient industrialists, supervisory authorities and the expert community in the existing emergency hazards and threats of today industrial Russia. In recent decades, there is a dangerous trend of opportunistic introduction of universal criteria for safe operation. In fact, instead of a risk-oriented approach, a risk-prescriptive approach is proposed. Any risk assessment methodology is only a means for measuring hazard, and is not at all a guarantor or a witness of compliance with safety. In order to eliminate measurement errors as much as possible, it is required to evaluate not the absolute level of accident hazard, but the relative one. The tools for measuring hazard (accident risk assessment at a hazardous production facility) cannot give a reliable, comprehensive conclusion about the safety of a hazardous production facility. Safety is not a mechanistic absence of hazard, but a systemic property of the technical-social system «source of hazard — those at risk» to function in conditions of changing hazards and threats that arise from them. Hazards are objective, and safety is a cultivated systemic property of hazardous industries to prevent the transformation of hazards into threats. In a risk-oriented approach to industrial safety, it is required to distinguish between information social engineering technology risk management (impact on ideas about hazards and threats) and organizational and technical management of a directly hazardous production facility, controlled by hazard analysis with a reliable assessment of the risk of an accident. The main criterion for ensuring the safe operation of a hazardous production facility should be considered a set of limit values of safe operation parameters and conditions for non-occurrence of emergency threats of major industrial accidents in the performance of existing industrial safety requirements. Criteria for acceptable accident risk must be established in accordance with the industry level of emergency threats. Due to the significant variety of possible causes of accidents, scenarios for their occurrence and development, a wide range of possible consequences of industrial accidents, it is not possible to establish absolutely identical, so-called «unified» criteria for acceptable accident risk for different hazardous production facilities: acceptable accident risk as a measure of acceptable hazard, cannot be accepted as a single criterion for ensuring industrial safety of a hazardous production facility. Unified criteria for assessing the risks of accidents at industrial facilities are not single and individual microscopic probabilities that are not the same for all different industries. Unified criteria are a unified set of methods for developing, establishing, testing and adopting criteria for assessing hazards using risk as a special measure of hazard.

Проект классификатора причин аварий и инцидентов на опасных производственных объектах нефтегазовой отрасли

Technical investigation of accidents and incidents is carried out in order to establish the technical and organizational causes of accidents at hazardous production facilities. The legislation of the Russian Federation established the mandatory nature of this procedure, which is regulated by Order № 503 adopted by Rostechnadzor. This regulatory document describes the procedure for conducting an investigation and other organizational issues, but there is no more detailed information on the distribution of causes by groups. As the analysis of the materials of such investigations conducted by the authors of this article shows, there is a problem of uniformity in their identification (various experts formulate the causes of accidents and classify them as technical or organizational in different ways, based on their education, their own experience and other factors). Having analyzed more than 100 «lightnings» (information sheets indicating the causes after an accident investigation), posted on the official website of Rostechnadzor in the section Lessons learned from accidents, the authors of the article found some inconsistencies in assigning causes to a specific group, for example, the causes those related to strictly technical ones were correlated with the group of organizational ones. In this regard, there is a need to adopt an appropriate regulatory legal act, which in its content would have a clearer and, as far as possible, detailed classification of the causes of accidents and incidents for hazardous production facilities in the oil and gas industry. In order to ensure the unity of formulations of the causes of accidents and incidents by different experts and to facilitate their machine processing, a draft classification of them is proposed, set out in the article.

Постановка и решение задачи по развитию системы комплексной безопасности на взрывопожароопасных производственных объектах предприятий

The article presents the idea of a new category of complex risk of exposure to hazardous events (accidents and fires). Adjustment of the required reserve should consider the dependence of the influence of services (labor safety, industrial safety and fire safety) on the integrated safety system created at explosion-hazardous production facilities of the enterprises. Attention is focused on the explosion and fire hazards of production facilities of the enterprises categorized by explosion and fire hazards, where flammable liquids and gases are processed, handled, transported, and stored. Enlarged areas were formed that have scientific results on risk assessment in the integrated safety system created at the enterprises under consideration. A model is presented that makes it possible to develop a new scientific and methodological apparatus (methods, methodology, software and hardware) for its use in practice. The goal and tasks requiring solutions to achieve it are formulated. To improve safety at the enterprises under consideration, it was required to solve 2 tasks. During the theoretical solution of problem 1, the conclusions were drawn that the existing and projected integrated safety systems, when compared in the form of mathematical models, are characterized by the presence of many parameters requiring calculations for all risks. It was required to develop a scientific and methodological apparatus for the formation of such a required reserve intended for the maintenance and development of subsystems (labor safety; industrial safety; fire safety), which would contribute to improving the state of the integrated safety system at the enterprises under consideration. In the course of solving the 2nd problem, an example of an experimental verification calculation was demonstrated. It substantiates the positive dynamics in the development of an integrated safety system at the enterprises in question using scientific and methodological apparatus. The author of the article shows the possibility of reducing the risk of damage from accidents and fires by 18 % during the period allocated by the management of production enterprises for the development of the integrated safety system created at them. Solving these problems allows to talk about a significant contribution to the socio-economic development of Russia.

Научная информационно-аналитическая база промышленной безопасности

A generalization of the results of ongoing work on the issues of development of the research and development of the integrated safety problems with their information support was carried out in the multi-volume publication «Safety of Russia. Legal, socio-economic and scientific-technical aspects». Within the framework of this publication, 66 volumes were published from 1998 to 2023 with coverage of the main scientific and applied information in them, which is concentrated at the same time in the Information Center on the basis of the A.A. Blagonravov Institute of Machine Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The structure of this information base includes two main components: a knowledge base and data banks. The knowledge base includes methodological approaches to the formation of types of limit states for hazardous production facilities, the construction of calculation schemes for normal, emergency and catastrophic situations, the selection of criteria for assessing stress-strain and limit states, the identification of risks and the development of a risk-oriented approach in the field of industrial safety with a description in these approaches of a complex of corresponding analytical criterion dependencies and equations. Data banks contain the sets of deterministic, statistical and probabilistic data for the computational determination of the main parameters of criterion equations for assessing risks, safety and protectability of the analyzed industrial facilities. These data banks also include the nomenclature and characteristics of the hazardous substances, the levels of hazardous parameters of the work processes, and probability values for the implementation of various failure and accident scenarios. The scientific information and analytical base of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the problems of integrated safety formed and accumulated to date is an important component in the implementation of the Fundamentals of the State Policy of the Russian Federation in the Field of Industrial Safety for the Period up to 2025 and beyond, approved by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 06.05.2018, № 198.

The development of mineral resources in the Arctic zone of Russia as a potential environmentally hazardous activity: the legal framework

The current legislation of the Russian Federation lacks a defined term for «environmentally hazardous activity». Existing definitions in scientific literature fall short of capturing its essence comprehensively. To assess the legal framework for ensuring environmental safety during mineral resource development in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, this study employs a methodology grounded in general scientific and legal methods, including formal logic, legal interpretation, and legal modeling. According to Russian legislation, the extent of environmentally hazardous economic and other activities is influenced by the facilities where legal entities and entrepreneurs conduct their operations. These facilities are classified based on the following criteria: 1. the extent of the facility’s negative impact on the environment; 2. the facility’s designation as a hazardous production facility; 3. the object of state environmental monitoring, categorized by the risk of damage to values protected by the law, including the universal right to a healthy environment; 4. the geographic location of the object of state environmental monitoring. Taking these criteria into account, this article presents a comprehensive definition and classification of environmentally hazardous economic activities. The development of mineral resources in the Arctic zone of Russia falls under this classification, with varying degrees of environmental risk-ranging from high to significant and average.

Penerapan Metode Fuzzy Sugeno Untuk Menentukan Kelayakan Pengiriman Limbah Barang Berbahaya Dan Beracun

PT Semesta Citra Alam Batam is engaged in waste management and is located in the city of Batam. The waste collected by PT Semesta Citra Alam Batam is gathered at a waste collection warehouse located in the Industrial Waste Management Area of Batam City. The collected waste must be transported to waste utilization or hazardous waste disposal facilities. The data collection technique in this research is through observation and interviews conducted at PT Semesta Citra Alam Batam. The data analysis method used is fuzzy logic with the Sugeno method, which involves four stages: fuzzification, forming a fuzzy knowledge base, inference engine, and defuzzification. The research results from the application of fuzzy logic to determine the shipment of hazardous waste (B3 waste) at PT Semesta Citra Alam Batam involve both input and output variables. The input variables consist of load, content, and the output variable is a decision made using Matlab. These variables will generate rules that will be used to determine whether to send the waste or not.

О ВОЗМОЖНОЙ РАДИАЦИОННОЙ АВАРИИ НА АТОМНОМ ЛЕДОКОЛЕ И ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ ОБЕСПЕЧЕНИЯ БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ СПАСАТЕЛЕЙ МЧС РОССИИ ПРИ ЛИКВИДАЦИИ ЕЕ ПОСЛЕДСТВИЙ

Based on the analysis of the presence of radiation hazardous facilities in the Arctic regions of the Russian Federation, the problem of ensuring environmental safety in connection with the disposal of spent nuclear fuel of nuclear icebreakers is considered. Due to the growing number of Russian nuclear icebreakers in the Arctic, the specifics of their use, storage conditions for accumulating radioactive waste on ships serving them, there is a risk of accidents during loading and unloading operations with spent nuclear fuel. A hypothetical model of an accident with the depressurization of a container with solid radioactive waste is considered, and recommendations are given on the organization of radiation reconnaissance and ensuring the safety of personnel of EMERCOM of Russia participating in the elimination of the consequences of radiation pollution, attention is paid to the specifics of decontamination.

Biomonitoring of the environment of the Arctic urbanized area using the pollen of Sorbus gorodkovii Pojark

This article investigates the content of heavy metals (Cu, Ni, V, Cd, Zn) in the reproductive organs of the Gorodkov’s rowan (Sorbus gorodkovii Pojark.) growing in the impact zone of environmentally hazardous facilities in Murmansk (CHP plants, waste incineration plant and trade sea port). The samples most contaminated by heavy metals were registered in the vicinity of the incineration plant. High concentrations of vanadium (4,2–4,8 mg/kg) and Cu, Ni, Cd, and Zn exceeding the limits of MPC are revealed in the impact zone of CHP plants operating on fuel oil. Biomonitoring of the viability of S. gorodkovii pollen showed that in all samples, the content of fertile pollen grains was reduced compared to that in the control. At the test sites of the Central and South CHP plants, the proportion of fertile pollen was 35–41 % (compared to 72 % in the control sample). The induced sterility was more than two times higher than the spontaneous sterility. High concentrations of vanadium and other toxic metals in emissions of Heating Plants have a gametocidal effect on the male gametophyte of S. gorodkovii. Groups of fertile and sterile pollen grains were selected according to their size: dwarf, normal, or hypertrophied. In the vicinity of the CHP plants, the proportion of fertile pollen of normal size decreased (62–69 %), whereas the content of dwarf (16–18 %) and hypertrophic pollen (17.4–22.7 %) increased. Sterile pollen grains were mostly dwarf (63–70 %). The results of biomonitoring indicated that CHP plants polluted the urban environment with vanadium and other toxic metals, which caused sterilization of S. gorodkovii male gametes. To improve the ecological situation in Murmansk, it is necessary to switch the thermal stations for the use of natural gas.

Implementing Effective Environmental Monitoring in Hazardous Waste Temporary Storage Facilities: A Step towards Sustainable Waste Management

Good environmental management is essential for sustainable development. Environmental monitoring at Temporary Shelters for Hazardous and Toxic Wastes (TPS B3) is an important step in preserving the environment and human health. B3 waste contains materials that have the potential to damage ecosystems and endanger living things if not managed properly. Environmental monitoring at TPS PLN UP3 Tanjung Karang Hazardous and Toxic waste aims to detect, prevent, and reduce the negative impacts caused by B3 waste on the environment. Monitoring methods may include sampling and analysis of wastewater, monitoring of air quality, and monitoring of leaks that may cause pollution. The results of laboratory tests revealed that the water content of the wastewater, the air quality at the TPS PLN UP3 Tanjung Karang Hazardous and Toxic waste were still below the environmental quality standards and there were no waste leaks that could cause pollution.

Strength analysis of flat manhole cover in case of change of location and inclination angle of two mutually intersecting scratches

Mechanical damages of the main structural elements of the process equipment of hazardous production facilities are quite often detected during the revision process after repairs when assessing the quality of the work performed. One of the most common mechanical damages on the surface of parts and assemblies of technical devices includes scratches and risks. Significant scratches and risks that have a relatively large area and depth and limit the commissioning of the facility are subject to sampling and removal during re-repair. Superficial and non-extended scratches and risks do not belong to unacceptable defects, the technical device should not be taken into account, and further operation occurs with their presence. During further operation of the facility, such defects may not manifest themselves in any way, but may be high-voltage concentrators, which in the vast majority of cases are not critical. However, the presence of two or more scratches on the surface of the structural elements, their different location relative to each other, and therefore different mutual influence, can have a significant effect on the redistribution of zones and values of increased stresses on the surfaces where they are located. In the current regulatory and technical documents for diagnostics, these points are not considered, and accordingly are not taken into account. Therefore, the actual work is to perform a strength analysis of a flat manhole cover with two scratches, which have a different location on the surface, and a different angle of intersection relative to each other.

Исследование микродугового оксидирования как метода улучшения технических характеристик сплавов алюминия марки AA5086 и титана марки ВТ6

The article presents the promising field of micro-arc oxidation as a surface modification method with the purpose to improve the corrosion resistance of titanium, aluminum, aluminum alloys and composites. Micro-arc oxidation is an electrochemical process that forms a thick, hard and highly adhesive ceramic oxide layer on the metal surfaces, thereby providing excellent protective properties. This method of hardening the metal surface was used in production in the manufacture of parts from AA5086 and VT6 alloys for industrial fans operating in chemically hazardous facilities. When using micro-arc oxidation, the strength and wear resistance of the internal parts of the fan to aggressive medium was increased. By that increased the trouble-free operation time and reduced the likelihood of destruction of the internal parts of the fan, which subsequently made it safer for employees to operate the fans in close proximity to the work area. This work examines the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys and composites, since the indicated materials are also widely used in various branches of industry. It also considers the role of alloying elements in influencing corrosion behavior, as well as the influence of microstructure and processing methods on corrosion resistance. In addition, the discussion extends to the corrosion behavior and protective measures for aluminum matrix composites, including the inclusion of reinforcing phases such as ceramic particles, fibers or nanoparticles. Throughout the article, the corrosion resistance of micro-arc oxidation treated surfaces, anodized aluminum layers, aluminum alloys and composites are critically assessed, analyzing the factors influencing their protective characteristics, such as the morphology, composition and thickness of the oxide layers, as well as environmental factors.

Независимый аудит как новое направление оценки промышленной безопасности на опасных производственных объектах горнодобывающего комплекса

The paper discusses a new key trend used to assess the state of industrial safety at mining operations as well as the cooperation efficiency. The experience GEOEXPERT LLC has gained in carrying out independent technical auditing and the relevance of this line of activity has been demonstrated. Taking into account current challenges and the experience of technical auditing, as well as the prospects for the development of this activity, the article and the data presented in it will help the top management to make their decisions, while the description of real auditing cases will provide the mining companies with an insight into the use of this new method of co-operation. Independent technical auditing is one of the tools to control the state of industrial safety at a mining operation, which provides a general picture of the company, classification of hazardous production facilities according to their hazard characteristics, independent verification of compliance of the production process organization and the production patterns with the regulatory requirements in order to improve the safety of operation, enhance the quality of products and reduce production risks. Three decades of experience gained by GEOEXPERT LLC and studying various aspects of challenges in the mining industry help to identify the method of independent technical auditing as one of the main tools for solving industrial safety problems and preventing emergencies at the operations.

Oral histories document community mobilisation to participate in decision-making regarding a hazardous waste thermal treatment facility

ABSTRACT Colfax, Louisiana hosts a commercial hazardous waste thermal treatment (TT) facility, which treats fireworks, explosives, and military ordnances by open-burn/open-detonation one mile from the edge of the nearest community. Seventy-one percent of Colfax’s residents are Black, and forty-six percent live below poverty, indicating the community’s structural vulnerability. This community-based study originated at the behest of Colfax community members. We hypothesised that the close relationships among members of this enclave may have enhanced the community’s ability to mobilise in opposition to the TT facility. We conducted semi-structured oral history interviews with nineteen community members and examined the social and interorganisational networks used by the Colfax community to claim its role in decision-making regarding the TT facility after years of exclusion from this process. Interview transcripts were analysed through the lens of community capacity theory to gain insight into how interactions among community members about the environmental hazards led to social mobilisation and improved participation in the decision-making process using codes for communication, organisation, and outcome. Additionally, we reviewed Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality records for complaints about the facility to gauge public participation. One notable theme across several interviews was exclusion from the initial decision-making process related to the facility. However, interviewees noted a sustained effort was made among community members to educate themselves about the facility, organise a response through neighbour-to-neighbour contact, and take action by submitting formal complaints and participating in public hearings. Through the lens of environmental justice, this study illustrates an evolving condition of procedural justice.

Phototropic Behavioral Responses of Zooplankton in Lake Baikal In Situ and during the Anthropogenic Impact Modeling

Earlier, we showed that the registration of the behavioral responses of autochthonous mesozooplankton communities in situ is a more dynamic methodological approach in the biological assessment of the environmental well-being of aquatic ecosystems, as well as an alternative method to generally accepted tests on mortality and immobilization. The change in behavioral responses, including phototropic responses, may occur at lower concentrations of pollutants, leading to the inhibition of the risk-avoidance response of predatory fish attack and, ultimately, to the change in zooplankton abundance and biodiversity. The biological significance of such changes is quite high since zooplankters form the basis of food chains. This work studies the possibility of biomonitoring the quality of fresh water in Lake Baikal according to the state of the autochthonous mesozooplankton community in summer and winter using a digital holographic camera developed and tested by us in laboratory conditions. This method makes it possible to determine the concentration of plankters in the controlled volume of the DHC and perform photostimulation with different levels of illuminance. The depth profilometry of the phototropic response was compared with the profilometry of plankton concentration, intraspecific diversity of crustaceans according to the Pielou index, and the results of catching using the Juday net in the natural environment of the lake and during the modeling of the anthropogenic impact (introduction of table salt solution into the local area close to the registration probe). The circadian rhythm parameters were determined by the spectral analysis of the long-term registration of the phototropic response dynamics. It was noted that the inhibition of the phototropic response was the most adequate marker of the exogenous impact and the appearance of an alternating factor among the studied indicators of the state of the plankton community, namely, intraspecific diversity, synchronism of circadian rhythms, and response to paired photostimulation. The revealed patterns of behavioral responses of autochthonous zooplankton in natural and artificially modified conditions will allow for the implementation of long-term continuous control over the environmental well-being of water areas, including the collection ponds of treatment facilities, cooling ponds of nuclear power plants, and other water areas in contact with potentially hazardous facilities. The comparison of the identified patterns with the behavioral responses of euryhaline mesozooplankton will expand this method to assess the well-being of salt-water and marine reservoirs under the anthropogenic impact and will make it possible to create a continuous monitoring system.
