New mechanisms for regulation of industrial emissions into the atmosphere: a conceptual look at prospects and problems from sanitary-epidemiological point of view

The article considers the main aspects of environmental regulation of chemicals emissions into the atmosphere, based on the principles of quotas for individual business entities. It is shown that new approaches to establishing permissible emissions are an important step towards taking into account human health indicators while limiting the negative impact of all types of emission sources. The main positive innovations are the consideration of long-term pollution indicators, verification of calculated data by field measurements and the use of risk assessment methodology when choosing priority substances. A comparative analysis of the results of emissions despersion simulating and instrumental data (at the environmental monitoring observation points) showed the need to adjust the consolidated databases of emission sources in the territories of the federal "Clean Air" project. A conceptual scheme is proposed for establishing limits for permissible emissions from the standpoint of ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population...
