“…These elements within the sanitary protection zone of the enterprise showed lower concentrations and that can be explained by the transfer of emissions from tall stacks of Tomsk power station at long range. This is confirmed by the studies of the peculiarities of the composition of solid snow residues: concentration of rare, including rare-earth, elements increased by 2 times with distance from the power station [14,15]. In the area of Borrow Pit Enterprise elevated concentrations of Ce, Br, Sb with regard to background ones are noted; Construction materials plant -Fe, Br, Zn, Sc, Eu, Ce; Concrete products plantZn, Cr, Sr. High concentrations of Hf, La, Ce, Eu, Yb and Ta were also previously recorded in the dust emissions of construction industry [15].…”

The study of soil samples taken in regions of the industrial enterprises locations in Tomsk areas was performed. The instrumental neutron-activation analysis was used for determination of the chemical composition of samples. The accumulation levels of 26 chemical elements in soils, including rare and radioactive, were determined. The level values of all of the studied elements exceeded background concentrations. The observed elements concentrations exceeded the background ones by factor ranging from 1.1 for Rb (Artificial stone plant) up to 20 for Br (Borrow pit enterprise) to 28 for Ce (Ash dump of the heat power station). The pollution of all studied areas was estimated as high on the basis of calculated values of the total pollution index. The soil geochemical peculiarities in Tomsk are established by elements accompanying production in regions of industrial enterprises locations. The soil composition reflects the specificity of the urban area with various industrial enterprises, due to certain properties of the soil, which constantly accumulates pollutants of emissions from businesses shops and vehicles.

“…Originally, it was used as evaluation tool for the sediment pollution in aquatic environment. It had been successfully used for risk assessment of soils, dust and air (Qingjie et al 2008;Sun et al 2010;Suresh et al 2012;Ogunkunle and Fatoba 2013;Iqbal and Shah 2014;Riyad et al 2015;Osipova et al 2016). For a single metal, the potential ecological risk index is computed as follows:…”

“…The objects of fuel and energy complex are often located directly in the residential areas, and therefore, their emissions constitute a hazard for human health [3]. The geochemical peculiarity of solid airborne particles is their ability to condense chemical elements on their surface, including toxic for human health elements.…”

“…In winter period the mass of burning fuel reaches to its maximum, and emitted solid particles settle on the snow cover in the result of dry and wet deposition, and that creates a particular technogenic load on the vicinity areas. Currently, the use of snow cover as a plate-accumulator for pollutants from the atmosphere is rather urgent [3,[6][7][8][9][10].…”

Local heating plants are the main pollution source of rural areas. Currently, there are few studies on the composition of local heating plants emissions. The article deals with the research results of air pollution level with solid airborne particles in the vicinity of local gas-fired heating plants of some districts of Tomsk region. The snow sampling was conducted for the purpose of solid airborne particles extraction from snow cover. The content of 28 chemical elements (heavy metals, rare earth and radioactive elements, aurum, argentum, bromine) in the samples was detected using instrumental neutron activation analysis. The mercury content was determined by the flameless atomic absorption. The results have shown that the dust load value corresponds to low pollution level and 3,5 times exceeds the background value. It was detected, the content of studied elements exceeds the baseline data, and level of pollution with these elements corresponds to the average pollution level. It is suggested, the income of solid airborne particles containing these elements is connected both with emission of gas-fired heating plant, and local and trans-border sources.
