Research paper thumbnail of Proxy mapping of fly-ash pollution of soils around a coal-burning power plant: a case study in the Czech Republic

Fly ash produced through high-temperature combustion of fossil fuel is also rich in ferromagnetic minerals. These are also included in emissions, penetrate the soil, and can be identified using rock-magnetic methods. Magnetic susceptibility is directly linked to a concentration of ferromagnetic minerals and is dominated by high values of magnetite. This study reports on a method of monitoring the spatial distribution of pollution due to airborne solid particles based on measurements of magnetic susceptibility of the soil surface near a brown-coal-burning power plant. Areas with high emission levels and their maximum range are determined. A comparison of the spatial distribution of magnetic susceptibility with heavy-metal concentrations in soil samples suggests that magnetic mapping can be beneficially used as a rapid and inexpensive method to determine contamination due to industrial activity.
