Abstract: The article presents a case study of dust emissions from the preparatory works for the opening of the mine Cukaru Peki near Bor, Republic of Serbia, including an analysis of the total deposited materials, which illustrates the practical application of the proposed methodology. The monitoring was conducted one year before the start and from January to September 2018 during the preparatory mining works. The analysis of existing data predicts the creation of deposited substances from the atmosphere. This paper evaluates the validity of the Gaussian model for predicting the potential impact of dust deposits generated during preparatory mining works. 2022 eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode Presburger Ulniković, Vladanka Kostov, Ana Staletović, Novica Marković, Petar Tucović, Nedeljko
