Information and measurement systems for environmental monitoring: a regional aspect

This article outlines the results of a study of information and measurement systems (IMS) used in monitoring the state of the environment in large urban agglomerations and their application using Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russian Federation, as an example. Additionally, it offers an analysis establishing the structure, constituent elements, as well as the effectiveness and efficiency of the use of IMS for monitoring the state of atmospheric air pollution in large urban agglomerations in the Krasnoyarsk Krai. The paper presents the results of observation and control over the state and degree of atmospheric air pollution for 2020 in the cities of Krasnoyarsk, Zelenogorsk, and Kansk. The problems that can be solved through application of automated IMS for monitoring the environmental situation in cities have been identified, specifying the challenges of using regional systems for monitoring the ecosystems of the territories of the Russian Federation. Additionally, the paper investigates the problem of the variety of automated IMS used in different regions of Russia to monitor the state of the environment in large urban agglomerations. The study identifies the prospects and features of further development of automated IMS for controlling and monitoring pollution and the state of the environment of urban agglomerations.
