Main tacks of ecology are determine the safety margin of the planet; Identify the parameters that have the greatest impact on the state of the world; Predict the likely outcomes of current economic and industrial policies. Professor  Gaia Herrington concludes that the “standard scenario” is most comparable to the current situation. This has led to the creation of numerous (over 1,500) inventions to reduce environmental threats.   Chemists at the New Jersey Institute of Technology have created a new laboratory method to detect traces of PFAS in food packaging, water and soil sample. Most existing models of the terrestrial biosphere that are used to estimate carbon sequestration account only partially or not at all for the complex mechanisms associated with vegetation, and are at the lower end of the complexity spectrum.

Radon is a chemically inert radioactive gas with daughter decay products (DPR) in the form of alpha particles. Radon flux density studies were conducted in the Komarovo residential complex in the Sovetsky district of Volgograd in April 2024 on an area of approximately 0.3 km2. The purpose of the study was to study the radon flux density on a land plot in the Komarovo residential complex (Sovetsky district, Volgograd) in April 2024. Research objectives: 1. Measurement of the radon flux density level at the study points. 2. Statistical processing of the obtained results. 3. Forecasting of radon hazard of a land plot in the residential complex "Komarovo". Research methods and equipment. The method of measuring the radon flux density from the ground surface using Alfarad-Plus (Russia) was used. The authors found an excess of the average values of the radon flux density in the Komarovo residential complex by 5 times compared with the data of the standard values of the radon flux (80 MBq/m2*s). Moreover, spot emissions of radon gas of abnormal values reaching 3945 MBq/m2*s were recorded in the studied area, and in the southwestern part of the residential complex there is a zone with the highest values of PP> 80 MBq/m2*s. There is no anthropogenic factor in the form of radioactive contamination. These facts indicate signs of natural radon pollution of the land and problems of environmental safety of the urbanized territory, which requires operational engineering and environmental measures to develop protective measures against radon danger in the residential complex "Komarovo".

The paper presents a new approach to assessing the level of contamination with heavy metals of the soil-like fraction from landfills using Monte Carlo simulation using the example of landfills located within the borders of Volgograd.It was found that with a probability of 36.2%, the contamination level of a soil-like fraction from the landfill located in the Voroshilovsky district will correspond to moderately hazardous, and with a probability of 63.8%, hazardous. It is economically justified to isolate a soil-like fraction with a low level of pollution to detoxify it and further use it in the territory reclamation. For a soil-like fraction from landfill located in the Traktorozavodsky district, the pollution level was determined as extremely hazardous and hazardous with a probability of 87.1% and 3.1%, respectively. It is shown that a useful and usable part cannot be isolated from a soil-like fraction. A soil-like fraction must be neutralized and placed at waste disposal facilities.The presented approach is a useful instrument for pollution level assessment of a soil-like fraction, which can increase the accuracy of an estimate and the management effectiveness of a soil-like fraction during landfill development.

Today, the problem of global climate change and the associated degradation of permafrost is a priority area of ​ ​ research. In the regions of the Far North, a change in temperature by half a degree contributes to the emergence of geocryological dangers: the appearance of ravines, thermokarst subsidence, heaving, the formation of residential ice and, as a result, the destruction of houses and infrastructure. In Russia, the permafrost zone occupies about 63-65% of its territory and extends for thousands of kilometers. Various engineering and geological impacts, including man-made ones, represent a serious geocryological hazard and can lead to degradation of frozen soils in various regions. Due to the rapid thawing of ice and climate change, collapses and voids form on frozen soils. Also, when thawing permafrost, a large amount of groundwater is formed and there is a risk of salinization of nearby water and coastal zones. This can lead to the loss of resources that are necessary for the life of the local population, as well as for the economy of the region. Despite the fact that there are numerous programs and studies on this topic, a huge amount of work has not yet been carried out in Russia to eliminate geocryological threats.

The intensification of technological processes in modern industries is accompanied by an increase in the volume of ventilation and technological emissions, which have an extremely adverse effect on the environment. As is known, wet dust and gas cleaning devices are widely and successfully used to solve this problem. However, the presence of a droplet dispersion of the working fluid in the purified air flow, which can pollute the atmosphere with components captured during the cleaning process, does not allow achieving the required degree of purification. The article presents designs of radial-inertial droplet eliminators, optimized for functional and energy characteristics, proposed for installation in intensive wet dust and gas purification devices for effective separation of droplet moisture.
