. Ensuring the safety of the environment is an indispensable condition for the sustainable development of human society. The Federal project “Clean Air” set this goal. Imprving air quality is most relevant for large industrial cities, including in the town of Krasnoyarsk. The monitoring for both atmospheric air quality and chemicals that form the most significant risks to public health must aim at the spatial characteristics of exposure levels to assess the effectiveness and results of air protection measures. Material and methods. To solve the mentioned problems, we used data from field studies of atmospheric air quality for 2014-2018, summary calculations of dispersion of pollutants, the results of their linked analysis, health risk assessment, cluster analysis, and geoinformation systems, implemented the MP 2.1.6.0157-19 algorithm. Results. For each post, a monitoring program has been formed. A list of substances to be controlled for characterizing this cluster has been determined. As a result, the city monitoring program included 23 unique substances for the full monitoring program and 13 substances for reconnaissance assessment. Monitoring studies of atmospheric air quality, including priority substances that create an unacceptable level of potential health effects, cover more than 99% of the pilot area population. Conclusions. The study results showed the relevance and timeliness of interagency efforts in managing atmospheric air quality in the territories. A shared observation network of Hydrometeorological Research Center of Russian Federation (Hydrometcenter of Russia), Rospotrebnadzor, and regional atmospheric air quality monitoring networks with maximum resource savings, without duplication of studies, will allow for representative data collection and the formation of a joint information base. All this will provide good management decisions regarding air protection measures and measures of hygienic and medical-preventive nature.
