DISTRIBUTION OF HEAVY METALS AND MICRODIMENSIONAL PARTICLES IN SNOW COVER IN THE ZONE OF INFLUENCE OF THE INDUSTRIAL HUB OF ANGARSK

Abstract

The results of the study of the snow cover in a zone of influence of an industrial hub of the city of Angarsk by methods of laser granulometry and mass spectrometry of high definition with inductively connected plasma during the winter season of 2013-2014 are given. The samples were taken in 11 points remote from the city-forming enterprises on the distance to 80 km. The distribution of Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Ba, Pb and microdimensional particles was revealed. It was shown that in 4 points from 11 investigated, microparticles of the suspensions having small average arithmetic diameter (from 11.54 - 41.79 microns) with a big area of specific surface (to 15783.76 cm²/cm³) and representing potential health hazard for the person were found. It is shown that in 8 of 11 points the increased content of heavy metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ba) was revealed.
