Abstract

The total pollution caused by spreading and fallout of atmospheric aerosols in river catchment areas of a coal-mining region is estimated. The contribution of the emission produced by a coal mine to the total fallout in the territory is assessed. Different types of water pollution in the coal-mining region are analyzed, the principal pollutants are identified, and their contribution to river water quality is assessed.
