Oil and gas industry is one of the few steadily developing industries in the current economic conditions in Astrakhan region, where new fields are being developed and new enterprises are being introduced. Modern technologies for the development of oil and gas fields are associated with high impact on the components of the natural environment. Emissions of toxic substances into the atmosphere pose a threat to environmental safety and public health. The main sources of air pollution on the territory of Astrakhan region are internal combustion engines of transport, boiler pipes, burning of gas and oil in flare devices, fires and transboundary fogging. The analysis of atmospheric air quality in settlements of Astrakhan region is carried out in the research work. Modern trends in the distribution of pollutants in groups from stationary and mobile sources have been obtained. The analysis, characteristics and ranking of pollutants at a level exceeding the hygienic standards have been made in the article. The areas of Astrakhan region with the highest level of atmospheric pollution have been identified.

Key words: экологический мониторинг, загрязнение атмосферы, стационарные источники, предельно допустимая концентрация, уровень загрязнения, ecological monitoring, atmospheric pollution, stationary sources, maximum permissible concentration, level of pollution
