Abstract

The paper studies heavy metals in soils of the train removal station Ussuriysk JSC Russian Railways. An adverse effect of railway transport on adjacent territories is shown. Railway transport and subjects of its support are permanent sources of pollution. Long-term emissions to the air are reflected by essential accumulation of tocsins in the top horizons of the soil. The authors reveal the amount of heavy metals in soils of the train removal station Ussuriysk JSC Russian Railways. To identify the coefficient of heavy metals concentration in soil samples of 8 trial areas of technogenic and anthropogenic zones of the city were analyzed. To identify local technogenic anomalies concentration coefficients were calculated. The authors concluded that the territory of the train removal station Ussuriysk JSC Russian Railways was very polluted. The south of the railway station is characterized by an average pollution level. The authors revealed high concentrations of Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu and Pb in soils of the trial sites with a high transport loading.

Summary

Introduction

ТЯЖЕЛЫЕ МЕТАЛЛЫ В ПОЧВАХ ЗОНЫ ЖЕЛЕЗНОДОРОЖНОГО ОТВОДА СТАНЦИИ УССУРИЙСК ОАО «РЖД» Выявлена степень содержания тяжелых металлов в почве на территории железнодорожного отвода станции Уссурийск РЖД. Расчет суммарного показателя загрязнения почв по результатам анализа шести элементов выявил, что территория железнодорожного отвода на Ж/Д вокзале имеет «очень высокий» уровень загрязнения.
