Assessment of Content and Mobility of Heavy Metals in Soils of Technogenic Landscapes (on the Example of Gorlovskoye Anthracite Deposit, Novosibirsk Region)

The results of the study of the content of heavy metals and as in the soils of the dump of the Gorlovskoye anthracite deposit, depending on the main chemical and physical properties are presented. Soil acidity, granulometric composition, as well as the content of nitrogen and carbon were studied. The dependence of metal content in the analyzed embryozem on the pH value and the amount of organic carbon was established. It is concluded that the content of heavy metals and their mobile forms in soils is below the maximum permissible values and corresponds to background levels, except for As, whose gross concentration exceeds the MAC and background value.
