Ecological Systems and Devices Annotation << Back THE INFLUENCE OF DE-ICING COMPOSITIONS ON THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE CITY OF VOLGOGRAD S.S. Prikhodko, G.A. Sevryukova This article discusses the problem of environmental safety of the city of Volgograd that arise when dealing with natural hazard in an urban environment – ice. A comparative analysis of the impact of anti-icing reagent on the basis of sand-salt mixtures on the environment.Provides information on the applied anti-icing chemicals in the city of Volgograd.Identifi es the main negative effects of anti-icing reagent. As bioindicator used Rapeseed grown in spring water, taken directly near the road and away from her, when compared with the standard of settled tap water. Calculated total water capacity that is supported throughout the experiment. Conducted daily control measurements throughout the experiment (germination, germination of Rape seeds).After the impact of de-icing reagent revealed a sharp decrease in the growth of seeds and the appearance of chlorosis due to change of nutrients in unavailable form for the plants. Keywords: anti-icing compositions; sodium chloride; sands; change; comparison. Contacts: E-mail: svetasuzuki@mail.ru Pp. 33-36.
