Abstract

This article presents the results of a study evaluating the degree of air pollution in the Tsaritsyno park in the Southern Administrative District of Moscow using the fluctuating asymmetry method. The dependence of the fluctuation asymmetry value on the immediate proximity of automobile transport to the experimental sites was discovered and statistically confirmed.
