Abstract
The largest SMW landfill in the Irkutsk region is that in the Irkutsk city. In 2014, high heavy metal contents were registered in landfill soil samples taken at the landfill site, and it was proposed to perform monitoring outside the landfill in 2019 and determine the pollution distribution area. In this article, the comparative analysis of the degree of heavy metal pollution of the landfill soil and soil from sanitary protection zone is presented. It was established that the studied landfill soil refers to extremely hazardous soils with heavy metal contents that are up to 68 times higher than TLV. Soil samples from the landfill-affected area also contain heavy metals in high concentrations. The manufacturing supervision of the SMW landfill should include the continuous observation of the soil, water, and air condition in the zone of possible impact of the landfill for taking timely environmental protection measures and preventing further negative impact of the landfill on the ecosystem.
