Abstract


  1. Monitored the content of impurities in snow samples in the industrial district of Krasnoyarsk (Leninsky district). Was determined by the composition of major inorganic pollutants the snowpack. It was established that the content of anions Cl-, F-, NO3-, SO42- and metal Al3+, Zn2+, Fe3+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Co2+, Hg2+ depends on the time of sampling, the distance from the enterprises, as well as the direction of portable air flow. The content of elements in the solid fraction of snow correlates with the content of elements in the melted water. We have made a preliminary conclusion that the ions Pb2+ are located mainly in the form of organometallic compounds, into the environment as a result of intensive operation of vehicles, where lead compounds are added to the fuel as additives.
