Abstract

The measurements of daily and season variations in the background concentrations of 3,4-benzo(a)pyrene (BP), and some other kinds of atmospheric pollutants in West Siberia were performed in 1994-1996. BP is a carcinogenic substance that belongs to the most ecologically dangerous pollutants. It is apparent that concentrations are correlated with urbanization. In 1991-1992, a meteophysical OND-86 model was used in the aerosol samplings performed inside a wind drifted aerosol exhaust out of the two neighboring chimneys of heat power station TS-2. With this model, the location (site) of maximum concentration of pollutant can be found, taking into consideration such parameters as wind velocity, air temperature, landscape, and chimney height.
