2002
Mankovska, B. | Tucekova, A. (Forest Research Institute, Zvolen (Slovak Republic)) | Novak, J.
The magnesite plants Jelsava and Lubenik emitted in the 80s 30 000 tons of magnesite dust and heavy metals and 4000 tons of SO2 per year, what caused an extreme damage to the vegetation in the area around of about 500 km2.

Forest stands polluted by magnesite dust belong to alkaline air pollution type
