TECHNOLOGY OF THE NETWORK DESIGN FOR THE OBSERVATION OF ATMOSPHERIC AIR QUALITY OF THE REGION, BASED ON THE METHOD OF HIERARCHY ANALYSIS

Abstract

Paper considers the developed technology, intended for the design of the observation network, of the atmospheric air quality in the region, based on the method of hierarchy analysis. New approach regarding the determination of the priority of the locations of the points for the observation of atmospheric air quality, using Saati skew symmetric matrix of the pairwise comparison is suggested. Such approach enables to take into account various criteria for the selection of the observation points location, using the available input data and taking into account the weights of each criterion. Complex of the criteria, based on the known in Europe model «DPSIR» is suggested: “Pressures” criteria take into consideration the proximity to stationary sources of emission, motorways, etc, “States” criteria take into account the data of the environment state monitoring, “Impacts” criteria take into account the proximity of the sensitive and other population, “Responses” criteria reflect the possibility of monitoring the efficiency of different measures, etc. Recommendations, regarding the application of the developed technology for the territory of zones and agglomerations are developed.

The example of the suggested technology application during the development of the Program of state monitoring in the sphere of the protection of the atmospheric air in the zone “Vinnytsia” is proposed. This example proved the efficiency of this technology. Further it is planned to developed the given technology for the automation of the stage of the input data processing.
