Influence of the Small City on the Air Pollution of the State Reserve

The results of the research of nano-and micro-particles of atmospheric suspended matter, contained in the snow of Birobidzhan city and State Reserve "Bastak" in the winter seasons 2011-2013 are represented in this work. The distribution of suspended particles are revealed to be different sizes and origins in different parts of the town, varied technogenic impact. Even a town with a population less than 100,000 people is shown to influence negatively influence on the protected area, located 15 km away from the town. This influence is found in detecting dangerous technogenic microparticles in the atmosphere of the reserve (Fe, Cu, Pb, Ti, soot and carbon black). (C) 2014 The Authors Published by Elsevier B.V.
