Abstract
Results of the study of aerosols in the region of the Siberian chemical combine (Seversk, Tomsk Region) performed in 2010 using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry are given. GIS methods allowed revealing features of the spatial distribution of the aerosol contamination. The decrease of sizes of technogenic aerosol particles with the removal from their source was assessed. Mineral phase indicators of the emissions of the Siberian Chemical Plant (SCP) were determined and their major allocation forms were described.
