Description

A new approach to the estimation of environmental situation of the urbanized territories of a large city is offered. The approach is based on a complex of physical and chemical parameters adequately describing transformation of soil properties, with the use of landscape-geochemical method and GIS technologies. The pollution of soil horizons by heavy metals (HM) and mineral oil (MO) in a zone of influence of dangerous industrial objects exceeds by orders the maximum permissible concentration (MPC). Sharp deterioration of a nitric and carbon mode, increase of the alkalinity and the decrease in buffer activity of ground were revealed. The dynamics of technogenic streams and aureole of the contaminants migration in soils can result not only in the further transformation of their properties, but in closing the migration cycles of MO and HM. As a rule this is accompanied by the formation of secondary local sites of toxic substances accumulation and abnormal geochemical fields – laterally technogenic module. The revision of approaches to the analysis of soils under technogenesis and the development of new system of ecological monitoring represent a challenging goal.
