Assessment of the condition of the atmosphere in Rzhev by means of FTIR spectroscopy of Hypogymnia physodes

By means of FTIR spectroscopy analysis of epiphite lichens the assessment of a condition of the atmosphere in the city of Rzhev is carried out. In air are found gray (SO 2 and/or H 2SO 4) and nitrogen-containing pollyutant (NO 2 and/or HNO 3, NH 3 and/or NH 4+). However specifics of the city is defined by acid pollution with SO 2 participation. High concentration of this pollyutant are noted in the northwest of the city where there is the main industrial potential. Results of the current single measurements of SO 2 by means of IR of a gas analyzer showed that activity of these enterprises defines high concentration of it gas and now. The complex assessment of a condition of the atmosphere of Rzhev allowed to develop recommendations about improvement of an ecological situation in the city.
