Abstract:
The regions of fall of separated stages of carrier rockets launched from Baikonur cover an area about 4.5 million hectares at the territory of Russia. Soil, surface water bodies, and flora of the fall regions are inspected for pollution by heptyl rocket fuel. However, heptyl transport in the atmosphere due to aerosolization remains beyond inspection. The comprehensive study of the ecosystem near the fall region FR 213 in the Novosibirsk Region revealed deterioration in the health structure of population, which is supposedly caused by processes of heptyl aerosolization in the atmosphere. Some approaches to studying heptyl aerosolization at fall of separated stages of carrier rockets are proposed.
