In the event of a subsequent sale (and life is changeable), good ecology in your area will be an increasing factor to the value of real estate.
What determines the purity of air
Level of air pollutionis determined by two factors: the volume of emissions from vehicles and industrial enterprises and the meteorological conditions that determine the intensity of the process of dispersion of pollutants in the air. With a constant value of pollutant emissions, depending on the weather conditions, the level of air pollution can vary several times. 
What kind of information is provided to Muscovites by the "Mosecomonitoring"
In the residential area and in the city centerthe following harmful substances are controlled: carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, ozone, hydrocarbons, methane, suspended particles with a size of less than 10 microns. Additional measurements for benzene, tolual, formaldehyde, metaxylene, paraxylene, ethylbenzene, phenol, styrene, naphthalene and meteorological parameters (to predict transport) are made in the immediate vicinity of the highways. Temperature and atmospheric pressure are recorded for all points. 
How to independently obtain information about the quality of air in your area
The state of atmospheric air in the city of Moscow andthe dynamics of changes can be monitored directly on the Mosecomonitoring website for each of the existing stationary stations.

Mobile air monitoring service in the city
MTS subscribers can receive information aboutthe ecological state of the place where they are directly located at the time of the request: data are provided on the level of air pollution, the concentration of pollutants (in fractions of the norm) and the expected level of air pollution the next day. The Ecomonitoring service is provided on the territory of Moscow based on the results of air quality monitoring at the air pollution control station closest to the subscriber. The stations are located in all functional zones of the city, starting with clean, background areas of natural parks and ending with urban “pollution centers” - highways. To receive information about the environmental situation in the area where the subscriber is located, it is necessary to send an SMS-message with the text "ECO" to the number 1945. In a reply SMS-message, the subscriber will receive the data he is interested in. Data for SMS requests is updated hourly. The project began to be implemented in 2009 through joint efforts of Mosecomonitoring and MTS.
