Abstract

Assessment of the atmospheric air quality is a priority task of the today’s world. In Odesa there are a lot of various sources of emission which produce a negative effect on air quality. Therefore, it is impossible to implement environmental protection measures unless a rapid assessment of air pollution is accomplished. The task of the study is to assess the level of atmospheric air pollution with hydrogen sulphide and phenol in Odesa. The target of the study is to determine the atmospheric air pollution level in Odesa. With a view of calculating the atmospheric air pollution parameters, standard calculations have been made in accordance with «Guidelines on the atmosphere air pollution control. RD52.04.186–89. Moscow, Goskomgidromet, 1991». On the basis of the obtained results, it is concluded that the atmospheric air pollution exceeds the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) in air with phenol — by 1.5–3 times and with hydrogen sulphide — by 1.5–2 times. The atmospheric air pollution index analysis performed in 2003 and 2013 established a reduction of the pollution indices by 1.5–2 times. The hourly motion study of the atmospheric pollution index (API) for phenol revealed a formation of the maximum pollution levels in summer period, significant changes of trends and amplitude fluctuations during 2003 and 2013. In 2003 the trends were characterized by the changes that occurred every 2–3 months (the parameter growth varied by the parameter reduction) while in 2013 such vivid dynamics was not traced. The API fluctuation amplitude in 2003 was more than twofold, and in 2013 it was less than 1.5 times. Quite other situation was observed for the hydrogen sulphide concentration. The maximum values of the mean monthly concentrations were recorded in various periods (in 2003 — in May, and in 2013 — in August). A change of the trend was identified throughout the year, i.e., in 2013 there was a slight growth from the beginning of the year until its end, and in 2003 the changes were more pronounced, particularly in summer period.
