Environmental monitoring of the campus
In 2017, for the first time, RUDN University launched a project on assessing the environmental situation on the campus and around the university. Local schemes were obtained to control the quality of the environment and the level of contamination. The objective information about the ecological condition of the territory helps in taking measures for its well-being.
Environmental monitoring takes place all year round
The information about the level of air pollution, the geochemical status of soils, noise, electromagnetic fields and vegetationis collected and analyzed.
This gives an objective assessment of the man-caused load and enables to timely correct the actions to keep the green zone of the campus in a safe condition.
Profiles of pollution distribution from the main roads and along "cross-sections" on the campus territory were compiled; air was analyzed for nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, soot, benz(a)pyrene, carbon monoxide. Noise intensity, EMF and radiation levels were measured. Information from the cameras installed in neighboring streets was processed to estimate actual volumes of vehicle emissions depending on the intensity.
