Many sources of environmental pollution affect human health. The concentration of harmful substances constantly changes during the day when the weather conditions change in different parts of the territory. Residents can repeatedly enter and leave areas of increased pollution without noticing it with their senses when moving around the city. The authors analyzed the existing solutions for monitoring the quality of atmospheric air, as well as key sources of pollution and their distribution in the air. The interrelation of distribution of pollutants with weather conditions is noted. Preparation of data on the presence of harmful substances on the example of the city of Volgograd has been carried out. A method for organizing monitoring of harmful substances in the atmosphere using a software and hardware complex is proposed. The developed method was applied to create a specialized web application. The implemented solution allows to monitor the state of the environment using sensors and build routes around areas with a high concentration of harmful substances.

The article provides a solution to the problem of optimizing air ducts with a rectangular cross-section for ventilation and air conditioning systems. Based on the use of the methodology for optimizing air ducts according to the above costs, the optimal proportions of the sides of the rectangular cross-section of the duct are determined, depending on the amount of material costs for the duct device and the cost indicators of its operation. The obtained optimal aspect ratios of the cross sections of the ducts are universal and do not depend on the location of the duct relative to the system fan. These conditions allow, at the design stage of the ventilation system, to assess the degree of optimality of the decisions made on the choice of the dimensions of the cross-sections of the ducts and, if necessary, to make appropriate changes to the design solutions of the ventilation system. The obtained optimality conditions allow them to be included in the calculation programs of the air.

This article gives an overview of the operation of dehumidification plants located in indoor ice arenas. Since at the moment the operation of such facilities does not include control of such parameters as CO2 content, the possibility of implementing this task using the existing equipment is considered. A method of setting the automatics of maintaining the CO2 level in the set parameters is given. The principle of dehumidifier operation and problems of CO2 level control are considered. The method of tuning the control loops is also described. The use of CO2 controlled dehumidifier equipment will create comfortable conditions for the occupants of the ice arena, which in turn will lead to a reduction in energy and heat consumption.

The article raises an urgent problem for large cities - the fight against the negative consequences of road transport. The importance of urban planning measures to reduce the accumulation of emissions, as well as green spaces to reduce the concentration of dust content of harmful substances in urban areas is considered.

Monitoring of aerosols in the atmospheric air of residential areas of settlements ensures their environmental safety. Aerosol particles are capable of adsorbing various compounds, including metals, on their surface. It is known that heavy metals from the environment can penetrate into the human body and contribute to the development of various diseases. In this connection, their monitoring is relevant to ensure the environmental safety of residential areas of settlements. The purpose of the study was to study the indicators of the number and mass fraction of particles in the Sredneakhtuba district (Sredneakhtuba district, Volgograd region) for the spring-summer of 2019 in comparison with the conditionally clean zone. The material of the study was the leaves of Prunus armeniaca with aerosol particles. Leaves of Prunus armeniaca were placed in a glass container with 250 ml of distilled water, stirred for several minutes with a glass rod to wash particles from the surface of the leaves. As a result, aerosol suspensions were obtained, which were studied in terms of the number of particles and their mass fraction. The results obtained indicate almost the same amount of aerosol particles (PM10) in both territories. In terms of the mass fraction of aerosol particles (PM10), there is a significant excess of them in the experimental area. This fact may indicate the presence of metallic impurities in the aerosols of the residential area of ​​Srednyaya Akhtuba. At the same time, it should be noted that the high values ​​of the number of aerosol particles in the conditionally clean zone cast doubt on its status as a clean zone, since within a radius of 25 km. there is no anthropogenic load on it. The detected values ​​of aerosol particles give grounds to assume the action of a random factor (the introduction of aerosol pollution by transit air), or the action of an unknown natural source of pollution, which requires further research and study of the territory of a conditionally clean zone in combination with geochemical studies, etc.

Keywords: environmental monitoring, environmental risks, aerosols; number and mass fraction of particles

Porous media can be used as heat transfer intensifiers in the petrochemical, refrigeration, food, energy, and other industries. In this paper, heat transfer in a porous medium with a pulsating flow is studied numerically. The simulation was carried out in the AnsysFluent software product. The porous medium was represented as a two-dimensional channel with square tubes. The working medium was air and water. The heat transfer and hydraulic resistance of a porous medium in a pulsating flow are determined for different porosity and fiber diameter depending on the Reynolds number, Prandtl number, frequency and amplitude of pulsations. It is shown that with an increase in the intensity of pulsations, an increase in heat transfer occurs. Heat transfer intensification essentially depends on regime and geometrical parameters. Several empirical correlation are proposed for calculating heat transfer and the degree of heat transfer intensification for symmetric and asymmetric flow pulsations. The thermal-hydraulic efficiency is determined for the same Reynolds numbers and powers for pumping the heat carrier in a porous medium with symmetric and asymmetric flow pulsations.

Refrigerating machines are designed to cover peak heat generation in public buildings. At the same time, peak loads are often short-term and most of the time the refrigerating machines operate at 40-60% of their maximum capacity. The article deals with the issues of uneven cold consumption on the example of a sports complex located in Volgograd. When designing the air conditioning system of the games hall, a cooling system with the use of "chiller-fan coils"is used. An effective solution to reduce costs is to include a cold storage battery in the cooling station circuit. The use of a cold storage battery allows you to reduce operating costs.

The publication considers "small" leaks of oil products in city Volgograd, which are mainly represented by gasoline leaks at gas stations and leaks of technical liquids from vehicles in parking lots. The properties of these leaks are investigated. The regularities of oil products entering the air from "small" leaks are obtained. Measures are developed to improve the efficiency of collecting leaks. The design of a container for storing and accumulating waste generated as a result of collecting "small" leaks of oil products is proposed and tested. The obtained test results showed that the proposed container design can significantly reduce atmospheric air pollution compared to the commonly used container design.
