Spatial-dynamic peculiarities of CO2 distribution in the air of Zoloushka Cave
Andreychouk V. , Teleshman I. , Kouprich P.
Abstract:
Zoloushka Cave is characterized by relatively high (1-5%) content of ÑÎ2 in its underground atmosphere. The source of ÑÎ2 is the oxidation of organic matter and methane by ammonifying and methane-oxidizing bacteria. The accumulation of carbon dioxide in the cave air is caused by slow air exchange with the surface. The distribution of ÑÎ2 through the cave space has been investigated in August 2008 and 2009 and compared with the CO2 distribution in 1982. The main regularities of ÑÎ2 distribution in the cave are region-by-region increase in CO2 concentrations in the direction from the entrance into depth of cave and the vertical stratification – increase of carbon dioxide content in depressions of cave bottom and shafts. The influence of ÑÎ2 on the working conditions in the cave, on the human body and his mind, is also analyzed. The integral table of safety precautions is proposed, which should be followed when doing of research in the cave
