The indicators of pollutant emissions from the operating burning rock dump of the A.F. Zasyadko mine (Donetsk, Donetsk People’s Republic) have been determined and their dispersion in atmospheric air within the sanitary protection zone has been modeled. At a distance of 100 to 1000 m from the dump, the maximum permissible concentration for sulfur dioxide exceeded 2.8 times, carbon monoxide 2.8 times, and that of hydrogen sulfide 2.5 to 3.5 times. For nitrogen oxides, there was no excess of the maximum permissible concentration within the sanitary protection zone up to 1000 m. A positive correlation between the concentration of pollutant emissions in the atmosphere and the distance from the rock dump was revealed, which is caused by the processes of turbulent diffusion, which ensures the transport of pollutants.
