Abstract
Soils which are involved in urbanization process are under negative influence and arepolluted, particularly, with heavy metals. Moreover, the soils of Kaliningrad are polluted byindustrial and household waste, building dust, and also by pathogenic microorganisms andfinally become the most polluted environment.Quantity of heavy metals falls with atmospheric precipitations on the surface withinKaliningrad has been given. Park zones with a natural soil cover and wide-leaf vegetation areestimated as pure territories in Kaliningrad (Ashmann Park). The average content of heavymetals in the parking areas with natural soils are shown.The high concentration of heavymetals in soils is observed in city residental areas. Quantity of heavy metals in soils has beenresearched in these areas.According to landscape-geological researches in various areas of the city shows that the cityterritory is characterized by a high level of heavy metal accumulation in soils. Urbanterritories are under different-powerful pressure through heavy metal-carried atmosphericflows. The most powerful pressure can be observed within city territory.Ecology-geochemical researches show that the urban ecological situation is the combination'sresult of natural and anthropogenic factors. Natural landscape-geochemical factors have greatinfluence to geochemistry of urbanized territory. Nature factors have transforming role toheavy metal migration. But now the problem of influence has not been researched properly.
Highlights
Soils which are involved in urbanization process, such soils are under negative influence and are polluted, with heavy metals
Urban territories are under different-powerful pressure through heavy metal-carried atmospheric flows
Landscape-geochemical conditions have diverse influence to the level of urban environment's heavy metal pollution, Landscape-geochemical conditions may weaken or intensify, when level pollution is under fonnation, These conditions detennine urban environment's ecology geochemical state, for example, contrast, size of technogenic anomalys, how expressed they are, Technogenic heavy metals anomalies in urban environment are fom1ing if: I, natural geochemical microelement's background is low; 2, Carbonate acidification's process is widely spread; 3, Washing type of aquatic conditions is predominated in anthrosols (4), 3 METHODS OF HEAVY METAL'S EVALUATION
Summary
Soils which are involved in urbanization process, such soils are under negative influence and are polluted, with heavy metals. Urban landscapes are under technogenic and urbanization processes influence. Considerable transfomiation of all soil-formating factors, essential geochemical changes of major physico-chemical and chemical soil properties are widely spread in urban landscapes. Changing of soil properties leads to changing of geochemical conditions. These new new-created geochemical conditions can be found in soils within industrial and transport areas. These conditions are responsible for migration processes and how pollution is spread, as well. Landscape - geochemical research of anthrosols is necessary for revealing the negative ecological processes influencing on each field of city territories.
