Abstract
The problem of estimating the level of technogenous load in industrial centers on adjacent landscapes across snow cover contamination aureoles deciphered by spacecraft photographs is analyzed. For the industrial zone of Krasnoyarsk City, a correlation between the snoe cover contamination zones distinguished by means of NOAA/AVHRR photographs on the one hand, and the terrestrial data on the heavy meetal content of the snow cover and technogenous dust, on the other hand, has been found. The distinguished contamination zones correlate with the level of cancer diseases.
