Mineral-Geochemical Indicators of Technogenic Sources of Aerosol Pollution

Granulometry, morphology data and data on mineral composition of aerosol particles are given. These have been obtained with the use of scanning electronic microscope LEO 1430 VP that was furnished with energy dispersive spectrometer OXFORD. Mineral-geochemical indicators of local sources of aerosol pollution under conditions of a megacity have been determined using ICP-MS, ICP-AES, XRD-SI, atomic absorption, and phase X-ray diffraction methods. Mobility of toxic elements that were accumulated in a snow covering has been found. A comprehensive approach has allowed us to estimate the contribution of particular commercial manufacturers to the general ecological condition of Novosibirsk.
