Abstract
In 2012, as a result of snow survey, investigations of dust aerosols in Blagoveshchensk were carried out. Contrast geocomical anomalies of a number of heavy metals were revealed in snow cover on the northwest industrial area. For the first time, the sulfate and sulfide mineral modes of heavy metals in dust aerosols composition were detected by scanning electron microscopy. The atmospheric air polluting sources in Blagoveshchensk were determined.
