ABSTRACT

The raw material industry has a negative impact on the environment. In particular, it is an air pollution source. In order to improve the air sampling procedure, it is suggested to use lavsan sample bags. A distinctive feature of these devices is the ease of their use, regeneration and transportation, the possibility of their multiple application and averaging air samples for any period of time. Due to structural features and technical characteristics of bags, the procedure of their delivery to laboratories from remote observing sites is simplified, as well as air samples analysis. To establish the feasibility of using proposed sample bags and to assess the impact of the phosphorite mining enterprise the research was conducted, results of which allow us to conclude that it is advisable to use these devices for sample collection and transportation.
