Оценка степени химического загрязнения атмосферного воздуха населенных мест

Abstract

Comparative analysis of different methods of integrated assessment of air pollution were conducted in this article. Index P for various territories in 119 populated localities of Republic of Belarus was calculated. Chemical emissions data from 285 objects was analyzed, background concentrations of chemicals were also taken into account. As a result, it was determined, that the biggest amount of industrial enterprises in the Republic is located in Minsk and Minsk region and most of them are connected with transport industry, agriculture and food industry. It was evaluated, that chemical atmosphere pollution in populated localities is a complex system of interaction between different pollutants, nature conditions and other factors. This requires special methods for assessing atmospheric chemical pollution to be taken into account (including instrumental studies and computational data ascertainment). Therefore index P should be used along with other methods of investigation, its complementary.
