Filtration of Heavy Metals in Soils with Different Degrees of Urbanization and Technogenic Load

摘要

Filtration of heavy metals in various sections of soil affected by aviation-missile facilities and metallurgical complex located in Voronezh has been studied. The influence of the fractional composition of soil and the presence of natural geophysical barriers to the accumulation of metals has been estimated, including the accumulation of the elements at depth up to 1 m and the profiles of their distribution. It has been found that the metals distribution profile is affected by the intensity and duration of technogenic load rather than by the features of the elements mobility and the soil properties.
