Abstract
Recently, at the highest levels of government in our country, targeted work has been carried out to improve the environmental situation in cities. Ultimately, this will impact on improving the quality of life and health of the popu-lation. Therefore, in a number of cities of the Russian Federation, the “Clean Air” project is being implemented, within the framework of which a set of measures is being carried out aimed at reducing the total emissions of air pollutants in large industrial centers. As a result of the work, based on systematic and independent collection of information, the main sources of pollution in Magnitogorsk were identified. Analysis of the data obtained showed that the greatest nega-tive impact on the environment in the city is exerted by large industrial enterprises, road transport, the operation of housing and communal services systems, the residential sector and gardening partnerships. If the influence of organiza-tions and enterprises is mainly local in nature, then cars emit exhaust gases throughout the city. This impact is especial-ly strong when there is a significant congestion of traffic at intersections, in places where traffic slows down, near shop-ping centers and etc. Therefore, an increase in the number of vehicles leads to a deterioration in the environmental situation. This requires the development of appropriate measures aimed at reducing vehicle emissions. Among the fairly large scope of possible actions, the development of electric transport seems to be the most promising. The advantages and disadvantages of this type of solution discussed in the article showed that the transition to electric vehicles is the most promising option in urban conditions. This requires the creation of an appropriate infrastructure that provides the possibility of comfortable operation and maintenance of electric vehicles, as well as the use of other means of motivation, among which are subsidies, benefits, etc.
