Abstract: The article presents the results of a study aimed at improving the environmental safety of social facilities, in particular preschool institutions, in terms of providing comfortable living conditions in terms of noise and dust indicators, using the example of the city of Pyatigorsk. The territory of the city was conditionally divided into 4 zones, in which measurements of fine dust and acoustic load were carried out. The data obtained has been analyzed, and the excess of the normative indicators has been revealed. To identify the most favorable areas of the city in terms of environmental conditions, a ranking of parameters was carried out (traffic activity, acoustic conditions, dustiness of the territory and landscaping).The criteria for assessing the location and the state of the environment were evaluated on a scale from 0 to 10. Based on the results of the study, a ranking map of the city's territory was compiled according to the degree of environmental risk of housing preschool institutions in Pyatigorsk, which made it possible to identify the causes of the current environmental tension in each of the districts and, in the future, develop local methods to improve environmental safety.
