Abstract
This work, on the example of the Siberian Federal District of the Russian Federation, presents a method for determining mass airbursts of combustion gaseous eco-toxicants, as a technique for assessing the contributory environmental load on the atmosphere. Potential environmental hazards are analyzed by mass of contaminated airbursts. A comparison of specific gross toxicants’ emissions in territorial entities of the Russian Federation is made.
Highlights
Currently, the scale of human activities' impact on the biosphere is compatible with the scale of geological and geochemical processes
Given the magnitude of environmental effects of fires and urgency of the problem, in this paper a retrospective analysis of fire statistics in regions of the Siberian Federal District is performed; total environmental load on the atmosphere from industrial fires is estimated on priority toxic substances
Analysis of statistical data submitted in annual reports of Siberian regional center of EMERCOM of Russia, shows that the Siberian Federal District (SFD) has 16 fires for every 10 thousand inhabitants; about 12 people are killed in fires per every 100 thousand of inhabitants
Summary
The scale of human activities' impact on the biosphere is compatible with the scale of geological and geochemical processes. It is found that combustion products contain from 50 to 150 different types of toxic chemical compounds These agents affect both biocenosis components and human health [3,4,5]. Smoke from severe fires causes changes in daylight and air temperature, affects the amount of precipitation. Huge smoke air pollutions (forest fires, oil well fires) reduce the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface, which leads to climate changes lasting several days, weeks, months. These factors affect growth of plants, if they coincide with the growing season [7]. Given the magnitude of environmental effects of fires and urgency of the problem, in this paper a retrospective analysis of fire statistics in regions of the Siberian Federal District is performed; total environmental load on the atmosphere from industrial fires is estimated on priority toxic substances
