Abstract. Influence of “external” factors associated with specific features of manufacture and loading of emulsion explosives into the boreholes and blastholes, and features of blasting initiation of downhole charges, as well as geological conditions of blasting operations on the volume of pollutant emissions into environment was analyzed.A computational and experimental analysis of dependence between composition of detonation products in different types of emulsion explosives and “internal” (formula) factors was conducted. The composition of environmentally hazardous gases emitted into atmosphere during the explosions and their total variation when changing the component composition of “ERA” emulsion explosive was determined. Influence of the ERA oxygen balance on emission into the atmosphere of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and other environmentally hazardous pollutants in the form of airborne particles is demonstrated. Content values are recommended for the thermal additives in the form of composite material converted products, which will allow reducing variability of environmentallyhazardous substance emitted into atmosphere and excluding emissions of nitrogen oxides and minimizing emissions of carbon monoxide.
Keywords: emission of explosion products, emulsion explosives, component composition, oxygen balance.
