Description
Summary:The contribution deals with the assessment of current imission load by magnesium solids in the area with long-term operation of magnesite industry. The imission load being observed by means of the dust fallout analysis has a decreasing trend. The allowable dust imission limits are exceeded only in the closest vicinity of the processing plant. The content of Mg-component in the dust fallout with the increasing distance from the plant diminishes more dramatically than total dust fallout. As to heavy metals, the area of Jelava is mostly loaded by manganese. This fact is caused by its occurrence in processed magnesite. The contents of other observed heavy metals are also above an average. A decreasing input of alkalising components of solid immissions into the soil horizon enables to expext a reduction of the contaminated soil area by the reclamation.
