ATMOSPHERIC SUSPENSIONS OF PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY CITY ACCORDING TO SNOW POLLUTION: ECOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the research of atmospheric suspensions of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky by methods of laser granulometry, high resolution mass spectrometry (HR-ICP-MS) and scanning electronic microscopy. It is shown that the sea has the most important impact on the structure of suspensions - in all samples there are salt rock and sylvinite in significant amounts. Near a large rotary, nanoparticles (40-120 nanometers) which are the particles of soot and metals (Fe, W, Ti, Co, Ba) were found. Park zones are characterized by large particles (more than 100 microns) which in their composition are minerals, organic detrity and compounds of metals (Fe, Ti, Ba, W, Co, etc.). Around combined heat and power plants (CHHP-1 and CHPP-2), coal, black and metallic (Fe, Ba, W, Ti, Co, V) particles of 10-50 microns in size were found in samples. Thus, the level of air pollution in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is not high; there are more natural components rather than technology-related ones in the air of the city. At the same time findings of a high proportion of metallic and soot nanoparticles in the samples taken from the rotary is of great concern. It is obvious that the more cars there are, more negatively they will influence the health of a person.
