Abstract

The aim of this research is to assessment the concentrations of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Co, Ni, Cr) in soil and wood plants within the territory of Krasnoyarsk city. Soil pollution was compared with max¬imum allowable concentration (MAC). Content of lead, cadmium, zinc, copper, cobalt, nickel and chro¬mium in the soil exceeded MAC level in the transport zone of Krasnoyarsk city, copper had the most significant excess — 6,0 times higher than acceptable level. Nickel content in the soil of residential zone exceeded maximum concentration limit by 6,9 times. Vehicles increases soil pollution within the recre¬ational territory of Krasnoyarsk city. The data on heavy metals accumulation in leaves of Ulmus pumila, Рopulus balsamifera were analyzed. According to the data, Populus and Ulmus had high level of uptake of lead and cadmium. One might assume that autotransport increases soil pollution of recreational zone within the territory of Krasnoyarsk city. Special activities are to be carried out in order to reduce an¬thropic impact on soil in the area recreational zone.

Keywords

heavy metals, pollution, soil cover, wood plants, functional zones of the city.
