Environmental and geological studies of anthropogenic-modified geological bodies

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the results of the ecological and geochemical study of soil and ground conditions in the area of solid municipal waste (SMW) landfills in the central regions of the Republic of Crimea on the territory of the first mountain belt. In the work used as a model two sites with virtually identical composition of SMW, in similar natural and climatic conditions, but with different age of formation, which also allows to evaluate the long-term prospects of the ecological and geological state of the adjacent areas of such objects in the arid conditions of the Crimean mountains. In the work assessed the vertical and lateral migration of pollutants, the degree of influence on the adjacent territory, calculated the complex indicators of the state of individual components of the environment, carried out eluate phytotesting with cress (Lepidium sativum) and radish (Raphanus sativus), and determined the toxicity of soil and soil samples. Recommendations on the territory reclamation and applied technologies of disturbed land restoration are given.
