Abstract
An analytical study of the impact of solids contained
in the air of urban areas on human health was conducted.
Based on the analysis of the database of the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development and the State
Statistics Service of Ukraine on the emissions of substances
into the atmosphere, it was established that the effects of solids
on humans depend on particle diameter, morphological and
physicochemical characteristics. The analytical research has
shown that suspended airborne substances primarily damage
the respiratory system and cause harm to the human
cardiovascular system. The forecast model of emissions of
finely dispersed suspended solids (PM2.5 and less) in Ukraine
until 2030 was obtained. The critical analysis of indicators of
admissible levels of pollution, considering the comparative
characteristic of foreign and domestic standards of admissible
concentration of suspended solids in the atmospheric air of
settlements, was carried out.
