The article is devoted to assessment of the anthropogenic influence in the Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica. The emission of the main pollutants and greenhouse gases from diesel generators used at Antarctic stations are estimated for the period since the beginning of the development of the oasis area (from 1986 to 2019). It is shown that SO2 emissions decreased in 2019 compared to peak values in 1990 by 5.6 times, which was due to a significant decrease of the sulfur content in fuel. Emissions of other pollutants mostly increased. Surface air pollution by SO2, NO2, CO, PM10 and black carbon (BC) using the AERMOD dispersion model are characterized. It is revealed that the most significant emission health impact is due to increase of surface concentrations of nitrogen dioxide. Deposition fluxes of PM10 and BC are estimated. The fluxes of PM10 and BC dry deposition in the territory of Larsemann Hills can reach maximum values of 27.5 and 21.7 mg/m2/year, respectively; can be traced in certain directions at a distance of up to 2.0 km or more. Modeling of BC deposition due to the dispersion of emission allowed to make draft estimates of soot concentration in the snow of the area and resulting radiative forcing climatic effects.

南极洲人类足迹评估:拉斯曼山案例研究

本文致力于评估东南极洲拉斯曼山的人为影响。南极站使用的柴油发电机主要污染物和温室气体的排放量是自绿洲地区开发之初(1986年至2019年)期间估算的。结果表明,2019年SO 2排放量较1990年峰值下降了5.6倍,这是由于燃料中硫含量大幅下降所致。其他污染物排放量大多增加。使用 AERMOD 分散模型对 SO 2、NO 2、CO、PM 10和黑碳 (BC)造成的地表空气污染进行了表征。据透露,最显着的排放健康影响是由于二氧化氮表面浓度的增加。估算PM 10和 BC 的沉积通量。Larsemann Hills地区PM 10和BC干沉降通量可分别达到最大值27.5和21.7 mg/m 2 /年;可以在长达 2.0 公里或更远的距离内沿某些方向进行追踪。由于排放分散而对黑碳沉积进行建模,可以对该地区雪中的烟尘浓度以及由此产生的辐射强迫气候效应进行草图估计。
