Analysis of air pollution by pollutants, sources of pollution, types of economic activity, and administrative areas in the city of Novokuznetsk over 5 years was carried out. The largest share in the city air emissions is accounted for: CO – 61.8 %; SO 2 – 17.4 %; solids – 11.3 %; NO 2 – 5.9 %; CH 4 – 1.8 %. Dynamics of gross emissions by years is shown. Planned implementation of the approved measures of the national project Ecology will make it possible to reduce air pollution in the city by more than 20 % by 2024, which corresponds to the federal project Clean Air. According to planes of the city industrial enterprises, environmental programs have been prepared, with monitoring by environmental specialists from the city administration and public control. Various measures were taken: automatic stationary posts were put into operation to monitor air pollution in real time; mobile laboratory was acquired to measure urban air. To improve waste management in the city, separate collection projects were implemented. Environmental assets exist and develop in the city, which ideas and projects find common understanding and form ecological attitude of the urban community. Trends in gross emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere of Novokuznetsk are shown for the period of 2014 – 2018; refinements and explanations of the observed trends are given.
