Abstract

In this chapter, the basic features of the functioning of the monitoring system of air pollution in Ukraine are considered. The process of implementing Directive 2008/50/EU in Ukrainian legislation, the requirements for monitoring various pollutants in the air (particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), CO, SO2, NO2, O3) and the measures that Ukraine must take to implementation of the Directive are considered. The approaches to monitoring air pollution in Ukraine, the features of the Ukrainian air quality index—air pollution index are considered. The state of air pollution in different cities of Ukraine is analyzed, the most polluted cities and regions are determined in accordance with the air pollution index. Statistical studies on emissions into the air by stationary and mobile sources of pollution in Ukraine in 1990–2018 are carried out. In particular, the following pollutants were considered: SO2, NO2, CO, CO2, PAHs, Zn, Pb, Cu, Cr, Ni, Ar. It has been established that 5 cities in Ukraine generate emissions, which make up 40.2% of all emissions in the country. The main enterprises polluting the air in the largest cities are given. The process of measuring air pollutant concentrations as part of an air pollution monitoring system is considered. The optimal number of posts required for the implementation of the Directive has been determined. The features of monitoring air pollution in Kyiv are considered. The above-mentioned shortcomings of the air pollution monitoring system are shown and ways to eliminate them are proposed. A modern information-analytical system for monitoring air pollution is proposed.
