Assessment of risk for adolescents due to atmospheric air pollution showed that the highest contribution to the total value of HI on inhalation route of entry was made by the suspended particulate matters PM 2.5 and the spread of values in the districts was from 15.03 % to 18.68 %. 12.02% - 20.95%; carbon (soot) - (11.54% - 18.68%) and formaldehyde (4.88% - 9.47%) ranked second. An alarming level of risk for adolescents was identified in 1 (HI = 3.04) and 2 (HI = 3.23) zones of the city. The risk of diseases of the blood ranked second in general toxic action of chemicals. The total risk of developing non-carcinogenic effects in adolescents on entry of chemicals with atmospheric air corresponded to average level. The substances contributing the main percentage share to the risk of developing non-carcinogenic effects are carbon (soot), suspended particulate matters (PM10 and PM 2.5), nitrogen dioxide, carbon oxide, and formaldehyde.
