Abstract:
The remote assessment of methane (CH4), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) concentrations in the atmosphere of oil-and-gas profile settlements within the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug for 2019–2022 was made for the first time. Data analysis from the TROPOMI spectrometer revealed that the highest levels of atmospheric pollution are observed near industrial centers and major cities (Novy Urengoy, Salekhard, Nadym). Increased impurities were identified along gas pipelines (near compressor stations). The highest average values of nitrogen dioxide content were recorded in Novy Urengoy (1,34 mol/m², with contamination peaks occurring in winter months). Excessive concentrations of sulfur dioxide were found in urban-type settlements. The highest average values were recorded in Stary Nadym (20,35 mol/m²). The maximum methane content (1866,2 ppb) was reported in Novy Urengoy. Urban air, in general, has increased methane content. However, focuses of its spread are also observed beyond cities, which may be a consequence of global warming
The study was carried out as part of the implementation of the scientific theme of the Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas (National Research University)
