Abstract:

The review provides information on ozone concentration in the surface air layer in the second half of 2020. Data were obtained at 13 stations located in different regions of Russia. An assessment was made of the excess of hygienic standards established in the Russian Federation, both in the second half of the year and in the whole 2020. It is shown that the daily average maximum permissible concentration of ozone is regularly exceeded at all stations. There are cases of exceeding the one-time maximal maximum permissible concentration.

Keywords:

atmosphere, air, concentration, ozone, maximum permissible concentration, surface layer
