Аннотация:Annotation. This article elaborates new methods of integral estimation of anthropogenic impact on regional and municipal levels. The base indicators for these estimations are comparable for all territorial levels and calculated for real pollution areas. The scale and intensity of the exposure were taken into account. For the first time the integral index of anthropogenic impact intensity was calculated for all 1100 cities and towns of Russia and a comparative analysis of cities and towns impact on environmental situation in their regions was carried out. The main factors of changes in anthropogenic impact are explored for different population classes.
