The document discusses atmospheric pollution in Burgas, Bulgaria. It identifies the main sources of pollution as motor traffic, which accounts for 90% of atmospheric pollution by emitting nitric oxides, CO2, and particulate matter daily. Firewood and coal heating also contributes fine particles, especially in the town center. The Lukoil refinery emits a wide range of pollutants from industrial processes and leaks. Urban development and dust from construction also pollute the air. To examine pollution levels, students conducted experiments using Scotch tape in different locations, finding high amounts of particulate matter. Their conclusion is that particulate matter in combination with other emissions like NO2, SO2, CO2, NH3, and VOCs are causing a

2. Welcome to Burgas: “The best town for living”
Burgas is the biggest cityin South-East Bulgaria – hom etown and native pla of fam
ce ous
poets, com posers, singers, actors, producers, painters, photographers and sportsm en.
Joan Ekzarh, one of the Bulgarian pre-Renaissance writers wrote tha “The sea is what
t
brings together all tha is far awa ”.This is still valid toda . Our town is an im
t y y portant centre of
tourismwith plentyof facilities and transport connections to the resorts on the South Black
Sea coast. The resort com plex is enriched bythe presence of the Burgas Mineral water ba ths
which is one of the m ancient Bulgarian balneologycentres. Close to the seaside are located
ost
Lake Atanasovsko, Lake P oriisko , Lake Mandrensko and LakeVaia which formthe
om
biggest com plex of maritim lakes in Bulgaria-unique itself with its extrem rich
e ely
biodiversity The increasing num of the population, the better conditions for rest and
. ber
business prove the increasing interest to the town.

3. Who is the enemy?
The basic source of pollution of the
air in Burgas is the traffic. Big
amounts of nitric oxides, CO2 and big
amounts of dust particles are thrown
into the air on a daily basis . Motor
traffic is the source of 90 % of the
atmospheric pollution.
Firewood and coals can be a
considerable source of fine particles.
In the town centre the wood heating
is the most disseminated method of
heating.

4. The Bulgarian factory Lukoil is a source of a
wide range of pollutants PM, hydrocarbons,
nitrogen oxides, hydrogen oxides, sulfur
dioxide, sulfur hydrogen from the industrial
processes and from fugitive emissions of
leaks and of tank farm.
The urban development is a source of
pollution with dust and PM. Dust which has
oscillated one more time is spread by wind.
For the most part dust contains coarse
particles which contribute to the pollution of
the air in large.
On the territory of Burgas today are working
a few industrial factories which contribute to
the pollution of air too, including with PM.

5. Our practical work
To check the pollution in
different spots of Burgas alike
we set 3 experiments:
We used Scotch tape which
we pasted on different
surfaces-
~ close to junction
“Trapezitca”
~ in a car exhaust
~ on a surface next to an
industrial chimney

6. Our conclusion
According to our
experiments there is
a presence of big
amount of PM which
in combination with
winds given off in
the atmosphere of
Burgas
NO2,SO2,CO2,
NH3,CFCs, volatile
organic
compounds VOC
are causing
greenhouse effect.

7. Our suggestion for
keeping of the
climate
The problem with
reduction of the
carbon emissions cast
off in the atmosphere
is important for
Burgas. To convince
our classmates and
parents to reduce
together the
dispensation of
greenhouse gases, we
made a presentation
which we presented
in front of our class.
