Abstract

Background: Among the many hygiene problems of a large industrial city,
one of the most important is the protection of the environment from pollution by
emissions from motor vehicles and industrial enterprises. In the case of chemical
pollution of the environment, very resistant and capable of bioaccumulating in
large quantities chemicals - substances that have carcinogenic or mutagenic
properties or have adverse effects, in particular on the reproductive, endocrine,
immune and nervous systems - pose a particular threat to public health. The
development of various sectors of the national economy (non-ferrous and ferrous
metallurgy), chemical industry, production of synthetic fibers, pesticides and
mineral fertilizers and thermal power plants and motor transport in cities is
associated with the emission into the atmosphere of a bouquet of toxic substances
containing gas, steam and aerosol mixtures of 1-4 classes of danger: hydrogen
fluoride (Hf), ammonia (Am), formaldehyde (Fo), acetate lead (Al), dust (D),
phenol (Ph-ol), sulphur dioxide (SD), nitrogen dioxide (ND), suspended solids
