Laboratory studies of a residential area are an important tool for assessing its ecological condition, environmental quality and potential impact on public health. These studies are conducted in order to obtain objective and comprehensive information about the state of environmental components, identification of pollution factors and development of measures to improve living conditions.
Residential area – it is part of the territory of the settlement, designed for housing, public (public and business) and recreational areas, as well as individual parts of engineering and transport infrastructure, other objects, the location and activity of which do not require the creation of special sanitary and protective zones.
The purpose of laboratory studies of the residential area:
- Assessment of atmospheric air quality: determining the concentration of pollutants (dust, step on, money), noise, vibration.
- Identification of pollution sources: identification of specific factors, which is the reason for exceeding the standards;
- Development of measures to improve the condition of the territory: justifying the need and choosing effective methods of reducing the negative impact on the environment.
Periodicity and volume of research:
The periodicity and volume of laboratory tests are determined by the control program, developed for a specific residential area, taking into account its features, environmental condition and legislative requirements. Research is usually conducted regularly, with a set frequency (monthly, every quarter, annually).
Processing of results:
The results of laboratory studies are drawn up in the form of reports, protocols, analytical references. The documents state:
- date and place of sampling;
- research methods;
- obtained results;
- comparison with normative values;
- conclusions about the state of the environment.
Legislative regulation:
Laboratory studies of the residential area are carried out in accordance with the requirements of current legislation in the field of environmental protection and sanitary-epidemiological well-being of the population.
The importance of laboratory research:
Laboratory studies of the residential area are a necessary tool for ensuring environmental safety and public health protection, who lives in cities and other settlements. Research results are the basis for making decisions on improving the environment, development of measures to reduce negative impact and ensure sustainable development of territories.
