Abstract
The integrated geoecological reconnaissance investigations of the Landfill N 5 area for the municipal solid waste disposal situated near the city of Kyiv show its negative impact on the environment. The severe copper-lead pollution of soils has been detected. Moreover, in vicinity of the south-eastern contour of Landfill area the content anomalies for Cu (10000 mg/kg that is in 300 times higher than the maximum allowable concentrations – MAC), Pb content (1000 mg/kg that is in 30 times higher than the MAC) Zn content (300 mg/kg that is in 5 times higher than the MAC) are revealed in the samples taken from the surface soil layer of 0–5 cm. These soil samples are characterized by maximal specific magnetic susceptibility (572.1 SI×10-8 m3/kg). The heavy metal specification in soil has shown that their mobility increased tenfold in comparison with the background sites. The elements of significant accumulation in the grass vegetation are Cu and Cr at the biological absorption coefficients of 1.25 and 1.0, respectively.
