Abstract

The general characterization of climate/atmosphere of the town of Baikalsk is presented as an ecological factor of the environment. Against the general climatic background, the areas of anthropogenic types of microclimate are revealed. Attention is paid to the determination of microclimatic potential of self-purification of the surface layer of the atmosphere. The data on total emission of hazardous substances from the Baikal cellulose complex into the atmosphere for some recent years are analyzed. Zones of most probable distribution of atmospheric pollutants are determined. Using the landscape climatic approach and taking into account the available information on the status of climate/atmosphere, the authors divide the territory of the town and its suburbs into zones applying the ecological climatic approach. Such a cartographical model can be used to predict critical ecological situations in different parts of the town and to elaborate plans for optimization of economics, especially under the conditions of the functioning Baikal cellulose complex.
