Kobrin's ecology

Atmospheric pollution

Clean air is necessary for life on Earth. In the territory of the city of Kobrin 8(9) enterprises which are sources of pollution of atmospheric air on which more than 10 tests of atmospheric air are selected function. The main sources of emissions of the polluting substances in the atmosphere in the territory of the city are motor transport, objects of power and the industry. By the listed sources in 2009-2010 it was released into the atmosphere of 15.6 thousand tons of the polluting substances. The most part from them is produced by mobile sources – 10,6 thousand tons or 68%. About 29% of total emissions or 5 thousand tons (fig. 1.1) fell to the share of stationary sources.

In total 10,6 thousand tons, fig. 1.1

In structure of emissions of the polluting substances in atmospheric air from stationary sources dust (14%), carbon oxide (55%), hydrocarbon (17%), sulfur dioxide (4%), nitrogen oxide (9%) prevail. The most part of these emissions in the atmosphere of carbon oxide, hydrocarbon, and nitrogen oxide is caused by work of motor transport. The contribution of stationary sources to total emissions of dioxide of sulfur and firm particles was higher, than mobile (fig. 1.2).

It should be noted what in the territory of the city of GU "Kobrin Zone Center of Hygiene and Epidemiology" carries out monitoring of pollution of atmospheric air (fig. 1.3). In general, for 2011, according to tool measurements, in the territory of the city the specific weight of non-standard tests of atmospheric air exceeding maximum permissible concentration remained at the former level – 0% (2007 of-0%; 2006 of-1.1%).

Today in the city almost all enterprises pollute atmospheric air. Such are JSC Kobrin hlebozavod, JSC Kobrin "Butter and cheese-making plant", JSC Kobrin Konservny zavod. The cannery which received the rights to settle down near our school, too not the "pure" enterprise. Earlier we could observe long cold walls with lifeless windows and black (and sometimes black or brown) the smoke leaving its huge pipes. Though now we do not observe such picture, but what already got from pipes to air, will not allow us to breathe easier. The Kobrin tool plant "Sitomo" though tries to prevent hit of harmful substances in air, but so far it is possible to make partially.

There are also other sources of atmospheric pollution (burning of economic waste, use of mineral fertilizers). Due to the wide circulation of radio television and radar stations, various communication systems the considerable attention is paid to precautionary sanitary inspection behind placement of new objects. Regular tool researches of electromagnetic fields from radio engineering objects are organized. In 2011 measurements on several objects are carried out, excess of maximum permissible levels are not registered (fig. 1.4).

But, unfortunately, despite essential reduction of emissions, both from stationary, and from mobile sources of pollution of the air basin increased and there are all bases to believe that the reason for that adverse weather conditions.
