The sedimentation analysis method is based on the measurement of the deposition rate of suspended solids depending on their equivalent diameter. The use of sedimentation for disperse systems is limited by their size, as microscopic dust particles have low deposition rates and are difficult to analyze. Therefore, for finely dispersed systems, the authors propose a method of sedimentation analysis using portable cameras that record the deposition process and break it down into frames. The images obtained frame by frame are translated with the help of a graphic editor into binary (black and white) format, which is able to process the software. The experimental data obtained are presented in the form of tables and distribution functions.

The article deals with the issue of the influence of ambient temperature on the initial height of the flare emissions rise. The paper presents full-scale and theoretical studies of flare emissions operating near a temporary residential complex. In the course of the work, a series of images of flare emissions at different ambient temperature conditions was carried out and their subsequent comparison with the theoretical model was carried out. Field studies verify the theoretical model and establish that the initial height of the flare emissions depends on the ambient temperature and has an inverse proportionality.

Air pollution in residential areas near industrial plants is one of the most significant problems of modern ecology. The resulting dust is one of the important factors in assessing the adverse impact on the environment. Studies show that the greatest danger to the human body is particles up to 10 microns in size. When analyzing the dispersion of dust in the residential and industrial areas, it is possible to estimate the percentage of particles PM10 and PM2.5 from the total amount that is necessary to effectively control the effects of dust on human health. The article gives a comparative analysis of the results of studies of the dispersion composition and dust concentration in the air of the working zone and the urban environment.
