In the context of rapid industrial development and growth of the population’s living standards, the issue of atmospheric air protection moves to the forefront among others in the environmental agenda. System-based measurement of the air quality becomes not just a field of research but a vital need influencing the health of people and preservation of ecosystems.
A key role in this work is played by testing laboratories. Their activity is strictly controlled by the government, including by the Federal Service for Accreditation and Rosgidromet (Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring). Licensing by Rosgidromet is of special importance for the atmospheric air monitoring since this Service is responsible for collecting, analysing and distributing of data on weather and environment.
In May of 2026, the Ecoanalytics Shared Use Centre successfully obtained a Rosgidromet license. This document gives an organization a right for monitoring the state of the environment, as well as its physical and chemical processes, in order to assess the level of chemical pollution of the atmospheric air. In addition, this license permits to collect, process, store, share and distribute the information obtained in the course of these observations.
Scientists of the Ecoanalytics Centre stress that the Rosgidromet license is not just a formality. It guarantees the authenticity and reliability of data since it is only issued to those organizations that have the required equipment, qualified personnel, and methods of measurements complying with the state standards.
Such approach eliminates the risk of receiving unreliable information that could have led to erroneous environmental policy decisions or could have affected the population’s health.
Following Rosgidromet’s strict requirements when assessing the air quality is key to taking effective measures on improving it. Among the priority fields are: developing and implementing programs on reducing the pollutants emission, optimizing town-development plans, and regularly informing the population on the current ecological situation and the possible risks.
Specialists believe that licensed measurements play a fundamental role in the creation of a favourable environment and in ensuring the sustainable development of a region.
Today, industrial enterprises of the Chelyabinsk Region are among the main clients of the Ecoanalytics Shared Use Centre. Namely their active interaction with the licensed Centre aims at ensuring a transparent and reliable control of how clean the sky over one of the most industrially developed regions in our country is.
