Abstract: Air pollution is caused by the release of gaseous, liquid and solid substances in quantities that damage the environment, adversely affecting flora and fauna, water, soil and human health. The main air pollutants are nitrogen compounds (NO, NO2), carbon compounds (CO, CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), heavy metals (mercury, nickel, lead, arsenic, cadmium), hydrocarbons and their derivatives, as well as PM 10, PM 2.5 and PM 1.0. Solid pollutants negatively affect human health both directly, penetrating the body, causing allergies and lung diseases, and indirectly, acting as a carrier of heavy metals, microorganisms and bacteria. It is widely believed that large industrial plants, power plants and combined heat and power plants are the main sources of point emissions, affecting both local and global air quality. Strong corporate environmental and sustainability commitments are based on reliable assessments of corporate impacts and realistic mitigation plans. The purpose of this study was to analyze the emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere from the asphalt concrete plant (ABP) “NIKKO CBD-100” (Blagoveshchensk, Amur region, Russia). The results show that the gases emitted by each type of material can influence design criteria from an environmental point of view. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that at the production stage, emissions of methane, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide increase and decrease depending on the materials used in the operation of the asphalt concrete plant.
