Purpose: The purpose of the autho's research is: to analyze the air environment in Khabarovsk Krai cities; to carry on comparative analysis of the results of air environment quality using traditional methods and bioindication methods; to select the most effective methods of monitoring the condition of the air environment in settlements. Design/methodology/approach: Based on the methods of GOST 17.2.3.01-86 "Rules of air quality control in settlements", RD 52.04.186-89 "Guidelines for air pollution control" and RD 52.04.840-2015 "Application of the results of air quality monitoring obtained by continuous measurement methods", the assessment of the results of environmental monitoring of air quality in a number of settlements in the Khabarovsk Krai was made.Findings: As a result of the analysis of air quality data of Khabarovsk Krai settlements, it was established that the environmental situation is rather complicated not so much in large industrial city centers, but in settlements where fuel and energy complex enterprises still use solid fuel (coal) as a raw material. The article notes that plants are more sensitive to poor quality of atmospheric air than humans. In order to improve the information of atmospheric air monitoring, it is proposed to include a stage in the program of air observation that would allow characterizing the impact of air quality not only on human health but also on the condition of urban vegetation.Originality/value: The results of the research show that the creation of an effective monitoring system should consist of two stages that complement each other – monitoring of atmospheric air quality using bioindication and continuous measurement methods. The two-stage monitoring system allows for a comprehensive assessment of air quality in different areas of the population.
