Annotation A version of the ecological assessment of extremely high local pollution of atmospheric air in the territories of the Siberian Federal District, located in the conditions of intercontinental inter-mountain basins is proposed. To study the geographic and technical causes of extremely high local pollution of the atmospheric air of cities in the conditions of intercontinental intermontane basins, 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 districts for the period 2013-2015 is made. It was revealed that the hollow factor of the territorial organization facilitates the convenient concentrated population dispersal and nodes’ formation of the supporting framework of the investigated territories. It is noted that the influence of the basins is sharply manifested in the period of anticyclones. It is noted that the ability of the atmosphere to dissipate emissions of vehicles, industrial and municipal enterprises in the Transbaikal Region is less, other things being equal, than in other regions of Russia. Priority pollutants of atmospheric air in Chita, not corresponding to sanitary and hygienic standards, are summarized. The dependence between the total emission of pollutants, especially benz(a)pyrene, and a number of oncological diseases of the respiratory system are established
Key words environmental assessment and prediction; intercontinental intermountain hollows; atmospheric air; natural and anthropogenic factors; ecological safety; bioaccumulation; atmospheric circulation; medical and demographic losses; transport load; technogenic emissions
