Determination of the ecological state of atmospheric air in the Ivano-Frankivsk territorial community

Denys Zorin, Oleg Solodkyy
Abstract

Anthropogenic activity affects the state of the environment and transforms it, disrupting the ecological balance. Its main unifying element is atmospheric air – monitoring its state serves as the basis for environmental assessment and forecasting future changes in the ecosystem. The aim of the work was to assess the state of atmospheric air in the Ivano-Frankivsk territorial community and its surroundings using geographic information systems in environmental monitoring. The study used: actual measurements on the ground with gas analysers CEM GD-3803 and CEM DT-9881M, a statistical method for collecting and analysing data on pollution of the components of the surface layer of air with solid particles of fine-grained dust PM2.5 and PM10, carbon monoxide CO, carbon dioxide CO2. Visualisations of the distribution of pollution components were created using mapping. For this, the collected field data were subjected to mathematical processing and interpolated using the Kriging method in the Surfer program, after which the results were transferred to MapInfo. As a result, maps of the distribution of chemical pollutants in the territory of the Ivano-Frankivsk territorial community were created, a variant of building an environmental monitoring system was proposed, and a project cartographic model was developed. This will allow for more effective environmental monitoring in the future and planning measures to improve the condition of the territory. Automation was used in the MapInfo software for detailed step-by-step analysis of the environment and environmental monitoring of the studied territory of the community. The results of the study have practical significance for environmental management and planning, for the sphere of state and local environmental management, public initiatives and educational programs
