As a result of the conducted research, aggregated risk assessments of the effects of chemical and radioactive pollutants of atmospheric air on the environment were obtained using expert assessment. Integral indicators of environmental pollution in the districts of the Bryansk region were built. The use of the methodology of integral criteria for each type of pollution contributed to the determination of the ecological state of the areas. The methodology used in this study made it possible to identify areas with the highest levels of chemical and radioactive contamination. According to the results of the conducted studies, it was determined that according to some values of CM (microcephaly, anencephaly and hydrocephalus), higher rates were detected in radioactively contaminated areas.
