gonfalon: a rectangular canvas with a ratio of the parties 2:3.
The gonfalon consists of three vertical equal stripes - crimson,
green and dark blue - with the white chemical symbol of salt in
the centre. "

The flag of Artemovsk was reported wrong at Ukrainian
Heraldry site - the central line in circle must be vertical
instead horizontal. Andrew Rukkas from the Heraldry
Assn. reported first the wrong flag and later he corrected it.
Jaume Olle' ,19 September 1999 and 11 December 1999
According to <acci.inca.dn.ua>
,the line is horizontal and not vertical, so Jaume's report is
probably wrong.
