Abstract
Assesment of environmental polution by impuritiesof acidic or alkaline substances with simultaneous assessment of their electrical conductivity
Incoming article date: 27.10.2019Research was conducted in the urban agglomeration (Sredneahtubinsky district, Volgograd region) / experimental territory and SNT Oroshenets / control-conditionally clean zone for assessing environmental pollution with impurities of acidic and alkaline substances with a simultaneous assessment of their electrical conductivity. The object of the study is the leaves of apricot trees (Prúnus armeníaca), the subject of the study is aqueous dust suspensions (washing off the dust from the leaves of apricot trees (Prúnus armeníaca). The obtained results indicate acidic media of aqueous dust suspensions (pH = 4.6-5.5) s high electrical conductivity (47.1-80.72 μS / cm) in the experimental territory compared with the control-contaminated clean zone (pH = 6.3; EC = 38.1 μS / cm), which indicates the presence of dust particles heavy metals and / or acid oxides and / or hydrogen sulfide and others in of substances that got into them from atmospheric air. This indicates certain environmental risks to the environment and human health. In the future, it is necessary to identify the source of environmental pollution and the development of environmental measures to improve the quality of atmospheric air in the Central Akhtuba district of the Volgograd region.
