Abstract:

The inventory and cartography of oil polluting soils of the Absheron peninsula are made up by oil-industry wastes. The depth of oil pollutions, capacity of soil cover erosion, salting and marshy lands with the instruction of their areas are indicated on the map. These lands on pollution and recultability are distributed into 4 categories. Agromeliorative methods of their restoration are prepared on degress and depth of the pollutions.

Abstract:

Air pollution is a leading factor affecting the health of the population residing in the capital. The primary source of air pollution in the city is automobile transport, accounting for over 90% of emissions. The number of vehicles on the roads increases annually, resulting in traffic congestion and elevated levels of exhaust fumes and pollution in residential areas and neighborhoods. Industrial enterprises also contribute significantly to pollution. Surface and groundwater in Moscow experience considerable stress, primarily due to intensive and irrational use of water resources, as well as th

Abstract:

Microplastic pollution in agricultural soils has drawn significant attention in recent years. The objective of this study is to investigate the forms and characteristics of microplastic pollution in agricultural soils, specifically focusing on rice and vegetable soil in Xiangtan City. Various analytical techniques including stereomicroscopy, SEM, and FTIR spectroscopy were used to analyze the color, particle size, abundance, and types of microplastics in the study area. The findings indicated that the average abundance of microplastics in the soils in the study area was 4377.44 items/kg, with

Abstract:

The farmland soils around three typical livestock farms in Jilin province were studied to elucidate the impact of farms on heavy metal pollution in surrounding farmland soils. The results showed that the average content of Cd was maximal in the soils around cattle farm (0.29 mg kg-1); the average value of Pb was highest in the soils around the pig farm; and Cu, Zn, Ni and Cr were all highest in the soils around the chicken farm. The distribution of heavy metals in the soils around different livestock farms varied greatly. The contents of Cu, Zn, Ni and Cr decreased in the same order: chicken f

Abstract:

The seven typical plots were sampled and the contents of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn were analyzed in order to investigate the heavy metal pollution of farmland soils surrounding scale pig farms in Nanchang. The heavy metal pollution was evaluated by using single pollution index and comprehensive index methods. The results were addressed that Cd and Pb were the major two pollutants in the farmland soils. The sequence of single pollution index was Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu, Zn, As and Cr. The competitive pollution index was 1.55, and the farmland soils were a slightly polluted grade. The correlation amo

Abstract:

Black soils are vital agricultural resources, and assessing heavy metal contamination in black soils is of great significance to the sustainable development of agriculture and the environment. In this study, 1246 surface soil samples were collected from the central-eastern part of Changchun, where phaeozems and chernozems are widely distributed, and the As, Hg, Cr, Cd, and Pb concentrations were determined to investigate the pollution status in the black soils by the geoaccumulation index (Igeo). To eliminate the influence of background variation and improve the calculation accuracy of the Ige

Abstract:

The TPH-in-soil of three functional zones (industrial, residential, agro-residential) of Khabarovsk have been studied. Areas of acceptable, low, moderately hazardous, moderate, high and very high pollution levels have been identified. It has been found that the TPH-in-soil of different urban functional areas differs significantly. For statistical processing of experimental data, the Boxplots method ("box-and-whiskers diagram") has been used. It has been proposed to switch to the median value of the aggregate sample of the TPH-in-soil in residential and agro-residential areas as the baseline da

On the basis of analyzed literary sources shown to be the most polluted territory of our state is the urbanized square of the central and the south-eastern regions. Among metal-pollutants of the soil are the most widespread and toxic nets, zinc, copper, cadmium, nickel and aluminum. Mobility and bioavailability heavy metals and aluminum is directly proportional to the acidity of the soil.Taking into account the potential hazard of toxic metals for living organisms The urgent task of scientists is to asse

Abstract:

Plastic pollution in soils pose a major threat to soil health and soil fertility that are directly linked to food security and human health. In contrast to marine plastic pollution, this ubiquitous problem is thus far scientifically poorly understood and policy approaches that tackle plastic pollution in soils comprehensively do not exist. In this article, we apply a qualitative governance analysis to assess the effectiveness of existing policy instruments to avoid harmful plastic pollution in (agricultural) soils against the background of international environmental agreements.
