A comparison of our results with the results obtained in [68][69][70] showed that the concentrations of nitrates in the snow cover of Ulan-Ude are 1.5 times higher than in Moscow (1.5 mg/L) and Izhevsk (2.4 mg/L) and close to the concentration in Vladivostok (3.4 mg/L). By analogy with sulfates, elevated concentrations of ni-trates are recorded along the direction of the main transport (No.…”

This research used the geostatistical analysis of snow cover samples taken in 2017–2022 in the Baikal basin. Groups of snow cover pollution sources were identified by the method of empirical Bayesian kriging (ArcMap software) and mathematical data processing. The studied area was divided into fourteen districts. Geovisualization of marker substances accumulated in the snow cover allowed for the zoning of the studied area according to the degree of anthropogenic load. It was revealed that the atmospheric pollution of the territory from local sources extended for tens of kilometers along the prevailing wind direction. The maximum concentrations of anthropogenic aerosols in the snow cover were determined in towns that were sources of pollution and near settlements located on the coast of Lake Baikal and at the Selenga River mouth. The industrial centers of the region and the southern basin of Baikal, being affected by the air emissions from the Irkutsk agglomeration, were determined to be the most susceptible to anthropogenic pollution. The middle and northern basins could be attributed to the background regions being affected only by local heating sources and the natural background. The main atmospheric pollutants and the areas of their distribution were established. The main sources of snow cover pollution in the region, in addition to the natural background, were emissions from thermal power plants and motor vehicles.

“…In the study, we collected freshly fallen snow to assess the pollutants that were in the air, without the burden of secondary pollution in the snow cover. e range and the extent of pollutants in snow cover are known to be higher than that in the precipitation [17]. Even more so, the pollutants may react with snow, and resulting admixtures are released into melt water and soil during winter even in cold climate due to temperature fluctuations and thaws [6].…”

Snow precipitation and snowpack are commonly used to assess the condition of the aerial environment. Another way to monitor air quality is to study trees and shrubs, which are natural barriers for capturing air pollution, including atmospheric particulate matter. The hypothesis of the current study was that using fresh snow precipitation and washout from vegetation for the monitoring of air pollution can produce comparable results. In this study, we compared the results of laser diffraction analysis of suspended particular matter in melted fresh snow and ultrasound-treated washout from conifer needles. The samples were collected at several sites in Primorsky Krai, Russian Federation, and analyzed according to the same scheme. We observed that the content of particulate matter with a smaller aerodynamic diameter in the ultrasound-treated washout from conifer needles was higher than that in the melted fresh snow. The content of PM10 in the ultrasound-treated washout from conifers was increased by 6–27% depending on the site, showing greater efficacy of this method. This method can be used as an alternative to the sampling of snow for the monitoring of ambient air pollution, taking into account several limitations.

“…In 2012-2013, the pH values for the average precipitation were 4.33 at the Vladivostok station, 4.99 at the Primorskaya station, and 4.89 at the Terney station. The increased SO 4 and NO 3 concentrations of precipitation and snow cover in the southern part of Primorskye Territory were related to the specific composition of local emissions, mainly from cars and ships, and to the transboundary transport of pollutants (Kondrat'ev et al 2017). Both the atmospheric transport of pollutants and the lateral transport via transboundary rivers in the region have a significant impact on the concentration of anthropogenic chemicals in the Russian Far East environment.…”

The Russian Far East is a region between China and the Russian Arctic with a diverse climatological, geophysical, oceanic, and economical characteristic. The southern region is located in the Far East monsoon sector, while the northern parts are affected by the Arctic Ocean and cold air masses penetrating far to the south. Growing economic activities and traffic connected to the China Belt and Road Initiative together with climate change are placing an increased pressure upon the Russian Far East environment. There is an urgent need to improve the capacity to measure the atmospheric and environmental pollution and analyze their sources and to quantify the relative roles of local and transported pollution emissions in the region. In the paper, we characterize the current environmental and socio-economical landscape of the Russian Far East and summarize the future climate scenarios and identify the key regional research questions. We discuss the research infrastructure concept, which is needed to answer the identified research questions. The integrated observations, filling in the critical observational gap at the Northern Eurasian context, are required to provide state-of-the-art observations and enable follow-up procedures that support local, regional, and global decision making in the environmental context.
