ANTHROPOGENIC PARTICLES IN THE SNOW COVER OF LAKE BALTYM
The study is aimed to assess the composition and properties of solid material supplying to the environment from vehicles. The study was conducted in the area of the ice race track established on the surface of the lake, located at a significant distance from the stationary sources of pollution on lake Baltym (Ekaterinburg, Russia). The samples of snow were melted. The solid material of the samples was dried. The particles were selected manually and photographed using an optical microscope, and then were analyzed with a scanning electron microscope. The origin of the selected particles was determined.
