Who is the enemy?

The basic source of pollution of the air in Burgas is the traffic. Big amounts of nitric oxides, CO2 and big amounts of dust particles are thrown into the air on a daily basis . Motor traffic is the source of 90 % of the atmospheric pollution.

Firewood and coals can be a considerable source of fine particles. In the town centre the wood heating is the most disseminated method of heating.

The Bulgarian factory Lukoil is a source of a wide range of pollutants \PM, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, sulfur hydrogen\ from the industrial processes and from fugitive emissions of leaks and of tank farm.

The urban development is a source of pollution with dust and PM. Dust which has oscillated one more time is spread by wind. For the most part dust contains coarse particles which contribute to the pollution of the air in large.

On the territory of Burgas today are working a few industrial factories which contribute to the pollution of air too, including with PM.

Our practical work

To check the pollution in different spots of Burgas alike we set 3 experiments:We used Scotch tape which we pasted on different surfaces-~ close to junction “Trapezitca”~ in a car exhaust ~ on a surface next to an industrial chimney

Our conclusionOur conclusion

According to our experiments there is a presence of big amount of PM which in combination with winds given off in the atmosphere of Burgas \NO2,SO2,CO2, NH3,CFCs, volatile organic compounds \VOC\ are causing greenhouse effect.

Our suggestion Our suggestion for keeping of for keeping of the climatethe climate

The problem with reduction of the carbon emissions cast off in the atmosphere is important for Burgas. To convince our classmates and parents to reduce together the dispensation of greenhouse gases, we made a presentation which we presented in front of our class.
