Environmental characteristic of air suspensions at coal production objects: from extraction to combustion

Coal Terminal in Urban Settlement Posyet (Primorsky Krai, Russia) Causes Micro-sized Pollution of the Atmosphere

“…Snow samples were collected at 20 sampling point in the urban settlement Posyet during the 2018 winter season. According to our preliminary data [4,5], the main source of dust pollution in the settlement is the coal terminal located at the territory of the seaport. In order to assess the pollution of the territory with the coal terminal emissions, snow samples were taken at 50 meter intervals, gradually moving away from the particle emission source.…”

“…The issue of environmental risk caused by open coal terminals near settlements is extremely important and urgent, especially for Primorsky Krai, as we have discussed earlier [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Open coal handling and non-compliance with the sanitary norms lead to a pronounced micro-sized particulates contamination of the surface air [4].…”

Impact of Particulate Matter Emissions from Ship Power Plants on the Port City Environment

“…However, majority of studies in Vladivostok is focused on ground emission sources. The studies of Golokhvast et al (2017) [6], Kirichenko et al (2018) [7] and Chernyshev et al (2019) [8] are good examples. In recent years no studies of the impact of exhaust gases from ship power plants on the environment in the ports of the region have been carried out, although the commercial port of Vladivostok is a large port in the Russian Far East with significant growth rates (about 39%) [9].…”

Advances in Raw Material Industries for Sustainable Development Goals

“…A disturbance in early embryogenesis and growth inhibition of embryos and larvae were observed in all samples of developing embryos of marine mussels in Nakhodka Bay under the influence of coal-dust particles (Naumov and Naidenko, 1997). Given the continuous increase of anthropogenic pressure on the environment, practical steps are needed to timely solve the problems of pollution of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and pedosphere by nano-and microparticles (Golokhvast et al, 2017;Honarvar and Sami, 2019;Pikula et al, 2020a).…”
