Abstract

Norilsk is one of the most polluted cities in the world, largely because of intense mining of heavy metals. Here we present satellite observations of SO 2 in a large area surrounding the city, derived from 4 years of measurements from the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI), the nadir thermal infrared (TIR) sounder onboard the MetOp platforms. TIR instruments are conventionally considered to be inadequate for monitoring near‐surface composition, because their sensitivity to the lowest part of the atmosphere is limited by the thermal contrast between the ground and the air above it. We demonstrate that IASI is capable of measuring SO 2 (here as a partial column from 0 to 2 km) in Norilsk, thanks to the large temperature inversions and the low humidity in wintertime. We discuss the influence of thermal contrast and of surface humidity on the SO 2 retrieved columns and estimate the retrieval errors. Using a simple box model, we derive the yearly total emissions of SO 2 from Norilsk and compare them to previously reported values. More generally, we present in this work the first large‐scale demonstration of the capability of space‐based TIR sounders to measure near‐surface SO 2 anthropogenic pollution.

  • Since the onset of Eurasia's heavy industrialisation in the 1930s, pollution from the Norilsk mining complex has destroyed vast areas of pristine taiga and tundra habitats on the Taimyr Peninsula.

    “Since the onset of Eurasia's heavy industrialisation in the 1930s, pollution from the Norilsk mining complex (Kharuk et al. 1996) has destroyed vast areas of pristine taiga and tundra habitats on the Taimyr Peninsula (Bauduin et al ., 2014; Korets et al ., 2014).”

    From Ecological and conceptual consequences of Arctic pollution (2020) · cites this paper as Bauduin et al ., 2014

    The paper’s introduction says Norilsk’s pollution is directly responsible for degradation and contamination of the surrounding environment. Its retrieval discussion reports SO₂ over about 165,000 km² but describes environmental influence as suggested, not measured habitat destruction. The cited passages do not establish that vast areas of taiga and tundra habitat on the Taimyr Peninsula were destroyed. (LLM, conf=0.85)

  • Since the mid-20th century, continuous SO2 emissions from high-latitude mining, oil and shipping activities have affected biogeochemical cycles over central and eastern Siberia and across much of the circumpolar Arctic.

    “Since the mid-20th century, continuous SO2 emissions from high-latitude mining, oil and shipping activities (Fig. S1; Table S9) have affected biogeochemical cycles not only over central and eastern Siberia (Shevchenko et al ., 2003), but also across much of the circumpolar Arctic (Hirdman et al ., 2010; Bauduin et al ., 2014; Panyushkina et al ., 2016).”

    From Ecological and conceptual consequences of Arctic pollution (2020) · cites this paper as Bauduin et al., 2014

    The paper’s introductory passage (page unavailable) says Norilsk’s smelters emit SO₂ and that pollution from the region contributes to Arctic air pollution. It does not establish effects on biogeochemical cycles across much of the circumpolar Arctic, or attribute such effects to oil and shipping emissions since the mid-20th century. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
