traffic load

The article presents the results of an analysis of snow cover pollution in different parts of the Kirovsky district of Saratov. A comparison of the obtained data with the 1992 indicators was carried out. The connection between transport hubs with the highest dust load values and an increase in the number of cars was determined. Current spatial and temporal trends in snow cover pollution have been identified. The fact was confirmed that the highest concentration of dust in the snow cover is detected in areas with high traffic load.

The article provides the results of instrumental studies on the content and concentration of benzopyrene in the surface layer of the atmosphere in Saratov and Balakovo, as one of the most powerful and widespread carcinogen with extremely high and dangerous environmental effects. Characteristic sections of urban areas with the highest benzopyrene concentration were identified.
