Assessment of atmospheric air quality in urbanised areas of the Southern Urals

The paper reports a study of the concentration of fine particles in the atmospheric air with a diameter of < 2.5 microns (PM2.5) and solid particles with a diameter of < 10 microns (PM10) of urbanised territories. An environmental monitoring device (DT-9881 M) determined the concentration of d...

Summary:The paper reports a study of the concentration of fine particles in the atmospheric air with a diameter of < 2.5 microns (PM2.5) and solid particles with a diameter of < 10 microns (PM10) of urbanised territories. An environmental monitoring device (DT-9881 M) determined the concentration of dust particles, and the amount of adsorbed dust on the leaves of woody plants was determined by the flushing method. The research established that the concentration of solid particles in the atmospheric air PM2.5/PM10 depended on the intensity of motor traffic. A decrease in the content of PM2.5/PM10 was revealed in plantings where the influence of forest air on human beings was recorded. Measurements on the content of formaldehyde and carbon monoxide at all measurement points gave negative indicators. Green spaces are important to human well-being.
