| Abstract:
|
Detection and quantitative accounting of heavy metals, toxicants in urban soils are the urgent tasks required for
maintenance of sanitary and hygienic specifications, conservation of valuable plants, simulation and development of
environmental protection measures. Soil contamination as a function of urbanization level was determined using soil
samples obtained in Vologda, Vytegra and Belozersk districts. In total, the environmental situation in Vologda Oblast
is considered satisfactory and stable. Despite the industrial development, the level of environmental contamination
gradually decreases. Significant impact on all environmental spheres is exerted only in the vicinity of large cities and
industrial centers.
