Technological processes that are applied at civil engineering and metallurgic enterprises involve intense emissions of solid particles into ambient air. Adverse impacts exerted by particulate matter on human health have been confirmed by multiple research works, both domestic and foreign ones. At the same time, an extent to which technogenic dust emissions are hazardous is determined by contents of various chemical components in them including heavy metals. The research goal was to quantitatively and qualitatively...

Dust emissions from industrial enterprises are often treated as total suspended particles (TSP); and they also quite often contain a wide range of chemical components. Among these components rather hazardous admixtures can be found, such as heavy metals, benzpyrene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc. Structure of emissions in terms of admixtures contained in them is determined by raw materials applied at a specific production, production technologies, structure of an end product, etc. Being suspended, chemical...
