Abstract. The limitation of natural capital and the scale of anthropogenic impact on all components of the environment have led to the fact that modern society lives "in debt" in relation to the natural environment. In the result, experts note the high positions of threats to socio-economic development caused by air pollution. Nevertheless, despite the available data and indicators reflecting the dynamics of anthropogenic impact on the natural environment, in Russia, until recently there is a shortage of data and indicators on the greening of the economy, which characterise the effectiveness of state regulation in terms of environmental protection. The article considers modern trends in the sphere of ecological policy of Russia in the period 2012-2018 and identifies the main changes to environmental legislation. An analytical review of the basic documents of environmental policy in terms of air protection. At the first stage, a comparative analysis of goals, objectives and indicators was carried out, at the second stage, the achievement of planned indicators was assessed, and directions for their adjustment were proposed. Finally, the tasks and results of achievement of key indicators set in the fundamental documents of the state environmental policy can be a "measure" of the effectiveness of state regulation in this area.

Key words: ecological programs, efficiency of public administration, protection of atmospheric air, safety of technosphere.
