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".

Air pollution in urban areas contributes to the development of various diseases among the population. In this connection, its environmental monitoring is relevant. Goals and objectives. The aim of the study was to study the redox potential of aerosols in the residential area of the village. Kuporosny (Volgograd, Sovetsky district) (experimental area) in comparison with the conditionally clean zone. The objectives of the study were to select aerosol particles in the leaves of apricot trees (Prunus armeniaca L.); preparation of aerosol suspensions from the leaves of apricot trees; study of the ORP of aerosol suspensions when they are infused for 5 minutes in distilled water; discussion of the obtained results. Methods. Leaves of apricot trees (Prunus armeniaca L.) in the amount of 10 pcs. placed in a glass dish, added 100 ml. distilled water, stirred them for several minutes with a glass rod to wash the particles from the surface of the leaves. As a result, aerosol suspensions were obtained, in which the ORP was studied. The ORP value was measured using electrochemical equipment (SevenCompact pH meter S220, manufacturer: Mettler-Toledo GmbH, Switzerland). Results. Established air pollution residential area in the village. Vitriol based on low values of the redox potential (Eh=30.03+0.27 (mV)) compared to the conditionally clean zone (Eh=140.83+0.81 (mV)). Conclusion. The results obtained indicate the predominance of recovery processes in the atmosphere of the residential zone of the village. Vitriol, the deterioration of its oxygen regime and the development of environmental risks for the population living there. In this connection, it is required to establish sources of pollution and develop appropriate environmental measures.

Acidic impurities in the atmospheric air pose a certain threat to human health and contribute to the development of various diseases among the population, which is an urgent topic of research. The acidity of aerosols in the residential area of the village was studied . Vitriol (Sovetsky district, Volgograd), located in the zone of operation of industrial enterprises (tannery, production of building materials, etc.) for the spring-summer period of 2022. The selection of aerosol particles was carried out using passive monitors - leaves of apricot trees (Prunus armeniaca L.) in the green infrastructure of the residential area of the village. Vitriolic. The study of the acidity index indicated the absence of acidic impurities in the atmospheric air of the residential zone, which corresponds to the normative values (pH = 5.5-6.5), (according to Svistov P.F., 2010).

Environmental monitoring of physical pollution of territories is carried out in various regions of the Russian Federation and abroad. Thus, the influence of, for example, radio frequency radiation on human health and ecosystems has been established. In this regard, the study of low-frequency fields of electric fields at the stage of pre-design work is relevant. The purpose of the study was to study the electric field strength (E,V/m) on the land allocated for horticulture in the DNT ""Luch"" of the Sredneakhtubinsky district of the Volgograd region in September 2021. Research objectives: measurement of the electric field strength; analysis of the obtained results; study of anthropogenic and natural sources of physical pollution of the territory; discussion of the obtained results. Materials and methods. The study of the electric field strength on a land plot allocated for gardening was carried out using a PZ-34 electromagnetic field parameter meter (Russia), which is registered in the state register of measurement systems (No. 64925-16) and is popular among other researchers. Research results. 30 measurements were taken. The data obtained (E=1.16+0.11 (V/m)) did not exceed the standards for residential areas. The median values of the electric field strength were 10-17 times higher than the median values of the studied indicator in comparison with similar rural areas in other countries of the world. Conclusion. These facts may indicate low-frequency pollution of the territory of a mixed type: an anthropogenic factor (highways, high-voltage power lines), a natural factor: a possible hidden mineral deposit, as a product of the post-volcanic activity of an ancient underground volcano in the Volga steppe zone, which requires further large-scale geological exploration of the study area and possible change in the status of the land.

The paper presents a numerical study of the effect of external electromagnetic fields of various configurations on the computer model of a neuron; Briefly describes the created software product, allowing to conduct numerical simulation of nerve cells, the mechanism of conduction of the nerve impulse. In an alternating field, the ion flux behaves as follows: at frequencies below 1 kHz, 3 maxima of the function of the average ion velocity are observed: these are 82 Hz, 340 Hz and 801 Hz. Under the influence of fields of higher frequencies from 1 kHz to 900 kHz, strong changes in velocities and currents do not occur. It is possible that in this frequency range the field does not have time to change the velocity modulus, but at a frequency of 970 kHz there is a sharp increase in the average ion velocity, which is most likely related to the effect of the myelin sheath, since no maximum is observed from the myelin sheath.
