The Efficiency Assessment of State Environmental Safety in Russian Industrial Regions

The rapid development of society has not only positive effects. Anthropogenic impact on the ecosystems of the planet often leads to destructive and irreversible consequences. The COVID-19 pandemic, which swept the whole world in 2020, once again demonstrates the need to find a balance between humans and nature. Conservation of the environment is one of the key tasks not only of governments that formulate environmental policies, but also of supranational organizations. A lot of the world's research is aimed at demonstrating the quantitative harm caused by industrial pollution through metamathematical calculations. They prove that air and water pollution leads to irreversible consequences for human health: an increase in respiratory diseases, an increase in mortality from malignant tumors. Of course, in the long term, such consequences will affect the economic indicators of the state's development. That is why management in the field of ensuring environmental safety in a modern state is one of the key branches of management. Environmental safety is the permissible level of the impact of external factors, which ensures the state of protection of the planet's ecosystem and basic human interests from the negative impact of industrial activities, emergencies of various kinds and their consequences.
