Abstract
Methodical problems and results of analysis of influence of atmosphere pollution on forest-swamp complexes of the taiga zone of West Siberia are considered on the example of emissions of ecologically harmful chemical compounds released during combustion of casing head gas in torches installed in the territory of petroleum-gas deposits. The analysis was carried out using a comprehensive approach based on combination of the sanitary-hygienic and landscape-geochemical methods. A quantitative estimate of the dimensions of the area of landscape units contaminated with discharges of soot and nitrogen dioxide into the atmosphere, depending on the burning gas volume and on the threshold level of atmosphere pollution, is given. The studies were carried out using the data on air contamination obtained on the basis of ecological certificates of petroleum deposits in the oil production territory.
