Annotation To study the influence of geographic and technological causes on the formation of extremely high local pollution of atmospheric air in the federal districts of the Russian Federation, a model region is identified — the Transbaikal region and its capital — Chita. The analysis of data on average annual and maximum concentrations, excess of MPC for 3 cities and 33 municipal areas for 2013-2015 is made. The following steps are carried out: 1) estimation of the demographic load and ecological safety of the air in the city of Chita at various elevations; 2) estimation of environmental safety in of the Transbaikal region; 3) comparative estimation of environmental safety of the air of some federal districts of the Russian Federation. In order to implement a comprehensive medical and biological study, data are analyzed on average annual and maximum concentrations, excess of toxic and harmful substances in the air. The results of studies of the level of atmospheric air pollution in three cities located in different geographical latitudes of Russia from the Priority List have shown that the formation of extremely high ground concentrations of toxic, harmful substances and aerosol particles is influenced by synergetic processes occurring in hollow-type cities under the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors. Specific data on the level of air pollution in various cities of Transbaikal region are given. An estimation of the impact of anthropogenic factors on the administrative districts of Chita is presented. The calculation of total, average score of the indicator is carried out, taking into account the average life expectancy of the population, besides, a rating for environmental safety of the air is formed. The advantages of comparative estimation usage of environmental safety of the air of the Russian Federation’s federal districts are revealed
Key words comparative estimation; federal districts; intercontinental inter-mountain hollows; atmospheric air, natural and anthropogenic factors; environmental safety; air environment; synergetic processes; hollow type; natural and anthropogenic factors
