Abstract: According to the hygienic specifications adopted in Russia «Maximum permissible concentration (maximum concentration limit) of polluting substances in atmospheric air of the populated places» two characteristics of near ground ozone are normalized: maximum single and daily average concentration. Cases of excess of maximum permissible maximal single concentration of ozone according to stations of monitoring in Russia are observed in summertime in large cities; duration of such episodes, as a rule, few days. At the same time frequency of cases of excess of maximum permissible daily average concentration of ozone in background areas reaches 80-90 % that specifies insufficient validity of the given specification, demands cancelling it or, at least, revision of its numerical value in view of modern researches about influence of ozone on health of the population and the international experience.
