Abstract

The paper presents investigation of the trace element compositions of soil and trace element composition of plants of the former Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site (SNTS). The data obtained from the research were compared with the trace element composition of soil and plants from different regions of the world. Studies showed relatively high values of copper, zinc and manganese. Soil of Abralinskii area contains copper; zinc and manganese are slightly smaller than soils in other regions. On the Delegen Mountain area copper was contained approximately in 10 times higher than in other regions of the soils and in 8.5 times higher than the MAC, and the content of zinc and manganese is differed slightly. Soil of Atomic lake and Experimental Field is characterized by very high content of lead, manganese, zinc and copper.
