Title: Role of industrial dusts in the determination of atmospheric nitrogen input in the Rybnik Coal Region

Abstract:

Nitrogen input from the atmosphere was investigated in a highly industrialized region. It amounted on an average to 15.26 kg · ha-1 · growing season-1. The main nitrogen carrier was dust – 11.90 kg · ha-1 · growing season-1, representing 78.73% of the total input. Field and experimental data have shown that the nitrogen contained in dust was predominantly in the dissoluble form – 10.52 kg · ha-1 · growing season-1. Nitrogen washed out of the dust and the independent nitrogen input with rain water jointly represented as much as 90.50% of the total nitrogen input from the atmosphere.
