THE ANALYSIS OF THE EMISSION INFLUENCE ON THE HUMAN’S GENERAL CONDITION

Abstract

Currently, the problem of air pollution is topical. In this study, we described the question of environmental influence on human health. Sickness statistics over the past years (in compliance with the Health Ministry of the Russian Federation) were analyzed. National health deterioration and an increase in sicknesses are observed. During the last few years, respiratory diseases account for up to 46% of all cases. We studied the components of harmful substances of gasoline and diesel engine emissions and analyzed some of the chemical compounds of the exhaust (which cause a negative influence on the human respiratory system). The study aims to determine the impact of exhaust pollution on citizens’ health conditions. Barnaul citizens participated in this research. The questionnaire was conducted with the help of Google Forms. The received data illustrate that 90% of the respondents use motor transport. Moreover, 76%–79% of motor service users experience the reduced general condition, dizziness, and nausea caused by exhaustion. Around 90% of participants understood the negative influence of exhaust on their health (in places with less concentration of cars, they feel better). To improve the situation of air pollution in cities, we suggest a multi methodology focused on a preventive approach: (1) restrict the usage of personal autos; (2) promote a healthy way of life; use of alternative eco gasoline (including electric cars); (3) develop infrastructure for pedestrians and bicycles; and (4) carry out vast landscaping of cities.
