Health in Nor Norq Disastrous Because of Emissions of Operating Facilities

EcoLur

The atmospheric pollution for 2012 in the administrative area of Nor Norq, Yerevan, was disastrous for human health because of the emission of operating facilities. The total amount of emitted harmful substances made up per year 168.01 tons, dust – 63.83 tons and nitric oxide (NO) - 14.63 tons, carbon monoxide  - 41.9 tons.

This situation in Nor Norq has been detected due to EcoLur’s Ecological Risk Model. The model has assessed the situation with emissions in different administrative areas of Yerevan due to the data provided by various enterprises to the State Environmental Inspection of Nature Protection Ministry in 2012. As a standard, the model considers the emission of the least polluted area in Yerevan, which, in our case, is Nubarashen area with its total amount of emissions of 3.37 tons, dust – 1.6 tons, nitric oxide – 0.28 tons, carbon monoxide - 1.49 tons and nitrogen dioxide – 0 ton.

The model assessed pollution in line with the following principle -  if the emissions exceed the standards by 10 times, the situation is assessed as poor, if by over 20 times, which lasts for two days, the situation is assessed as critical, if by 30-50 times and lasts for over 8 hours, the situation is assessed as disastrous.
