Ecological Monitoring of Parabelsky Urban Zone of the Tomsk Region

Ecological monitoring is a new approach to the construction and development of urban areas, focused on urban zone and city planning, combining satisfaction of both social and environmental needs. One of the main goals of ecological monitoring is the creation of ecologically clean natural zones using modern technologies and high-quality materials. Purpose: The aim of this work is to evaluate the ecological state in the Parabelsky urban zone of the Tomsk region, which is a main oil and gas producing region. Methodology: A Grand spectrometer with a multichannel emission spectrum analyzer is used in combination with a Rowland polychromator and a Vesuvius-3 high-frequency generator with Atom software. Research findings: The content of key elements is detected in animals and plants and demonstrate their impact on the environment. It is shown that a set of measures to eliminate negative causes of the environmental pollution can improve the environmental situation in the urban zone. Value: The data obtained indicate to a localized man-made pollution caused by the oil and gas production complex. Based on the results, recommendations are proposed for the implementation of a set of environmental measures aimed at reducing anthropogenic load and improving the quality of the habitat, which is a prerequisite for the environmental safety in urban development and infrastructure activities in this urban area.
