title: Phosphorus fertilizer production as a source of rare-earth elements pollution of the environment.
abstract: This paper considers some features of the production of phosphorus fertilizers in relation to pollution of the environment by rare-earth elements by measuring the change in the rare-earth elements interrelationship in snow. The main source of the pollution is identified. The distribution of pollutants is dependent on the size of the associated aerosol particles. We also report data on the concentrations of the pollutants in agricultural plants, employees' hair and hair of local residents.
