Abstract

The article is devoted to modern aspects of technogenic pollution of atmospheric air of industrial city in connection with the activity of the largest metallurgical enterprise in Ukraine - Dneprovsky metallurgical combine. The peculiarity of this scientific research is the use of a comprehensive and systemic ecological and hygienic approach: by-ingredient and summary hygienic assessment of technogenic pollution of the atmospheric air layer in the city, its spatial and temporal characteristics in the dynamics of a 30-years’ period with an emphasis on the last five years, considering quantitative relationship with the volumes of gross industrial atmospheric emissions and their distribution on the territory of the city was performed, as well as mathematical calculations and hygienic assessment of risk to the health of the city population were made.
