Abstract

The Earth’s biosphere has recently been increasingly exposed to pollution sources. The economic growth of the leading countries of the world contributes to the active development of artificial sources of pollution of the environment, which are formed due to the rapid economic activity of man. Human impact on the ecosystem is manifested as a result of the rapid development of urban space and transport infrastructure, as well as active energy consumption. The development of high-rise buildings of dense development in modern cities creates an unfavorable environmental situation in the residential zone. In densely built-up areas of the city, an industrial environment is formed. As a result of this, in a residential urban environment subject to the influence of anthropogenic factors, the natural heat-wind and air exchange conditions are changing. Using the buildings of the Moscow International Business Center Moscow-City as an example, the paper analyzes the causes of the concentration of harmful emissions in yard spaces and streets as a result of active energy consumption. A deep analysis of the influence of natural and artificial sources of pollution on the living environment is carried out. Energy consumption is identified as the cause of artificial pollution sources. The role of urban transport in the deterioration of the environmental situation of a modern city is assessed.
