Atmospheric air is a vital component of the natural environment, an integral part of the habitat of humans, plants, and animals. Atmospheric air is the most significant component (factor) of the human environment, the pollution of which the impact on human health and all living things is most pronounced. Most large cities are characterized by extremely high and intense air pollution compared to small towns and villages. On the majority of polluting agents, and there are hundreds of them in the city, it is possible to tell with confidence that they, as a rule, exceed maximum permissible concentrations. We will consider the city of Penza as an example.
