Abstract

The article presents the results of studying the impact of industrial emissions of enterprises of the city of Murmansk on the fertility of pollen of Sorbus gorodkovii Pojark (Gorodkov’s rowan). In the vicinity of the local heating plants operating on fuel oil, a low level of pollen fertility and high sterility is revealed. In the course of the research, the size groups of pollen are identified. It is shown that emissions from Murmansk thermal power plants are toxic, have a gametocidal effect, resulting in the formation of a large amount of sterile nano-pollen. The rejection of the use of fuel oil and the transition of thermal power plants to the use of natural gas is a promising direction for the sustainable development of the city of Murmansk.
