Over the past few years, the Irkutsk Region has been included in the priority list of territories with the maximum degree of air pollution. In this case, the Atmospheric Pollution Index is used as the main criterion. In this work, the calculation of the complex index of atmospheric pollution formed during the operation of the heat supply system in the settlement of Listvyanka of the Irkutsk region is made. Heat consumers are multi-apartment residential buildings, public and business buildings. Heat supply of Listvyanka is carried out from four boiler houses. The API analysis showed that during the operation of the fuel and energy complex of small settlements, the degree of air pollution can be classified as “low”. Thus, the contribution of the fuel and energy complex to the total background air pollution can be considered insignificant.
