Evaluation Of The Influence Of The Gorlovo Coal Deposit (Novosibirsk Region) On The State Of The Surface Layer Of The Atmosphere

Results of the field studies of the snow cover composition around dumps and a highway of the Gorlovo coal field are presented. The prevailing element in technogenic dust is carbon. The concentrations of almost all the elements in the dissolved and suspended parts of the snow cover exceed background values. The migration ability of the elements in snow samples collected near the dump and near the highway are similar. However, the distribution coefficients of the elements in snow samples from the highway region are lower, which is the evidence of their transfer in more mobile forms here. The influence of the Gorlovo anthracitic field on the surface layer of the atmosphere extends to more than 1000 m. At the same time, the highway along which the extracted coal is transported has a stronger influence on the state of the atmosphere than the dump for overburden and deads. The shielding effect of forests located along the road is shown.
