Thus, the concentration of nitrogen dioxide, sulfurous anhydride, phenol is by 10 times less than the pollution standard. At the same time the content of such harmful chemical substances as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in ambient air has not been observed due to results from surveys, held by Donetsk regional sanitary epidemiological station.
