Abstract
The article presents the results of a study of the soil and vegetation cover of the territory adjacent to the production complex of the zinc plant. According to the results of the studies, it was found that industrial emissions have a significant negative impact on soil and plants. The object of research: the soil cover is devoid of vegetation, erosive processes occur intensively. Large-scale appearance of brown burn spots is observed on the leaves of tree and shrub vegetation outside the territory of the industrial deposit, the main emissions of zinc plants polluting the soil, vegetation and affecting the biota are heavy metals harmful to the environment. Zinc, lead, copper and cadmium are the predominant polluting heavy metals as the main toxic metals in the object of study. The total forms of these elements in the soil exceed the MPC by hundreds of times, mobile - by 6-7 times.
