Effective controls of polluting substances in emissions of installations for burning industrial and household waste in Moscow were successfully carried out during the last decade. It was promoted substantially due to two following circumstances. First one are achievements of scientists and experts from Germany providing a list of substances which are subject to obligatory control, alongside with the development of corresponding specifications of emissions Secondly, the important role was played by the updated a hardware-methodical base of measurements with the help of mobile laboratory “Kema” (Netherlands), which was donated as humanitarian and technical aid from the European Union.

The equipment of this laboratory provided research of component-concentration structure of emissions for a wide spectrum of organic and inorganic substances in the mode of monitoring supervision. Data about concentration of the inorganic gases, the weighed substances was obtained, the amounts of hydrocarbons, etc. substances in a half-hour mode, one-, two-hour, mode followed by a longer period of gathering samples directly from the sources of emissions.

The authors for the first time in Russia received real experimental data on emissions of heavy metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, furans on various incinerate installations. In particular, in a mode of real time it was possible to obtain data not only about concentration, but also about emission capacity on a number of pollutants. It allowed estimating a level of pollution in a ground layer of the atmosphere on significant distances from sources of emissions.

In the work [1] results of the above-stated experimental researches are presented. The authors show ways of the further development of the methodology, schemes of control and upgrading the techniques for analysis of emissions from the sources where thermal processes are used (objects of power, metallurgy, burning of waste) in conditions of the urbanized territories. Besides it discusses legal and regulatory problems of the ecological control in general and the necessity of further development of its legislative basis for the control over the sources of emissions.
