Assessment of the effectiveness of atmospheric air purification by green spaces in order to reduce the negative impact of emissions from production facilities

This article examines the influence of woody and shrubby vegetation on the quality of atmospheric air on the example of the landscaped territory of the industrial site – Priokskoye LCMGP, a branch of Gazprom Transgaz Nizhny Novgorod LLC. The study assessed the environmental ecosystem services provided by the green spaces of the industrial site: carbon storage and sequestration, the degree of purification of atmospheric air. A project for the reconstruction of the landscaped territory of the industrial site of the Prioksky LCMGP in order to reduce the negative impact of emissions from the production facility is presented. A comparative assessment of the ecosystem services provided by the woody and shrubby vegetation of the green areas of the industrial site and the project for the reconstruction of the green area was carried out. As a result, the absorption and sequestration capacity of vegetation increases by 8 and 3 times, respectively. The degree of purification of atmospheric air from CO by 286 times, from NO2 by 5 times from SO2 by 2.3 times.
