The importance of using information and measurement systems in the process of environmental monitoring in the Russian Federation

Abstract

The economic activities of humans are becoming more and more intensive, resulting in the contamination of the biosphere with chemicals of various origins. As a result, the quality of the environment, which is necessary to ensure the normal survival of various organisms, is deteriorating significantly. There is therefore a need to address these issues in a proactive manner. In order to reduce negative impacts on nature, continuous monitoring of the biosphere is necessary, which requires specialized information and measurement systems. It also requires taking the necessary measures to ensure that the environment is properly managed in the future. In 1971, the Scientific Committee on Environmental Problems of the International Scientific Coalition (ISC) first identified the need for environmental monitoring on a global scale. Monitoring refers to a system of monitoring the state of the environment that includes three main activities: monitoring the environment, identifying potential changes, and minimizing and regulating changes.
