Metrological Problems of Laser Monitoring of Nano-Dust Pollution of the Living Environment in Megacities

The results of research on the problems of monitoring and identification of cancer manifestations of nano-dust pollution of megacities are considered It is shown that the widely used equipment for monitoring dust air pollution in Russia and abroad is quite “rough” and does not allow to identify the nano-ecological causes and investigate the thin mechanisms of growth, for example, cancer diseases on the territory of megacities. In this regard, the article considers the prospects for laser monitoring of the nanoparticles concentration in the atmosphere and in residential premises. The possibilities of using UAVs to obtain the distribution of nanoparticles in height are considered. The materials of the article prove that in order to reliably detect and study the biomedical consequences of nano-dust air pollution in megacities, it is necessary to use equipment with a resolution in the range from 1 to 100 nm, and it is also necessary to monitor nano-dust air pollution in a sufficient number of points on the territory of the megalopolis. The article considers combined petal-shaped diagrams of the density of the distribution of cancer diseases in an arbitrarily taken real metropolis and diagrams of the density of pollution along the cardinal directions in the city. It is shown that the recorded air pollution in this megalopolis does not allow to reveal the presence of their cross-correlation with the distribution diagram of the density of cancer diseases.
