Abstract
Assessment of landscaping of sanitary protection zones of enterprises of the northern industrial hub of Volgograd
Incoming article date: 26.05.2025As part of the analysis of the environmental situation on the territory of the Russian Federation in 2023, it was found that in 120 cities the level of atmospheric air pollution exceeds the permissible hygienic standards. Industrial areas are considered "hot spots" where various air pollutants are generated as a result of ongoing industrial activity. An assessment of the NDVI index values and the compliance of the landscaping area of the sanitary protection zones of the largest enterprises of the Northern Industrial Zone of Volgograd, located in the immediate vicinity of residential buildings, with established regional standards was carried out. The data obtained showed low values of the NDVI index and non-compliance of the landscaping area with the established requirements, which confirms the need for systematic monitoring of the condition of green spaces, the implementation of projects for landscaping sanitary protection zones, taking into account the resistance of the rock composition of plantings to harmful impurities contained in the ambient air of the plant.
