Evaluation of the effect of industrial enterprises on the atmosphere and efficiency evaluation of environmental protectionon the example of Prydniprovska thermal power plant

Heat and energy consumption is currently one of the largest environmental polluters. First of all, this is expressed in an increase in air pollution, poor quality of drinking water, soil pollution and the accumulation of certain types of waste. In order to reduce the harmful impact on the environment, it is necessary to solve the issues of effective purification and standardization of emissions and calculation of maximum allowable emissions. Therefore, the object of research is the impact of an industrial enterprise on the environment. One of the sources of environmental pollution is heat production enterprises, to which the Prydniprovska thermal power plant (Dnipro, Ukraine) belongs. The research is aimed at assessing the impact of the Prydniprovska thermal power plant (TPP) on the environment and develop proposals for the implementation of appropriate environmental measures. Like most industrial enterprises, Prydniprovska thermal power plant is a source of solid waste, polluted rains and gaseous emissions into the atmosphere. Since the enterprise is located within the city, the relevant environmental protection requirements for it have been increased. The economic activity of the enterprise is accompanied by the fulfillment of the requirements for the rational use of natural resources, environmental safety, planning measures for environmental protection and public health. In the work, an assessment was made of the impact of Prydniprovska thermal power plant on the environment and a description of the area where the enterprise was located was given.The analysis of these data allowsto give recommendations on the choice of the type of treatment facilities and the requirements for them. As a result of the research, it can be concluded that the excess of the surface concentration for the main emitted substances was not recorded. In the future, the study of emissions from the Prydniprovska TPP can be carried out on other emitted harmful substances, as well as after the work on the modernization of treatment equipment.
