Emissions of Benzо(a)pyrene and Carbon Monoxide from Forest Fires as a Source of Atmospheric Pollution in Cities of the Irkutsk Region

Abstract

An assessment is made of the release of benz(a)pyrene (B(a)P) and accompanying toxic products of incomplete combustion – carbon monoxide and soot – from forest fires as a source of atmospheric air pollution in cities in the Irkutsk region. Mass gross emissions, t/year, averaged for 2014–2020. of the studied substances in all 33 districts of the Irkutsk region were calculated. The dependences of gross emissions B(a)P are establishedDepends on the indicators of forest fires: the amount, area, mass of burnt plant materials, gross emissions of carbon monoxide and soot. The conclusion is made about the pollution of the atmospheric air of cities with carcinogenic B(a)P and toxic carbon monoxide from forest fire emissions.
