Environmental Regulation of Soil Quality in the Impact Zone of Anthropogenic Objects (Case Study of Waste Disposal Sites)

Influence of environmental conditions on the ecological quality of wood biomass growing on different soils and geological background

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of environmental factors, particularly the geological substrate, soil properties, and atmospheric pollution, on the elemental composition of ash produced from wood biomass combustion. The study also assessed the implications of these factors for the use of wood biomas...

Overview of ecological risk assessment of heavy metals with the approach of land uses affecting soil pollution

Environmental, technogenic and biological safety assessment in the impact zone of the Bogdanka mine spoil tip (Lublin coal basin)

The results of research on the natural phytomeliorative effectiveness of vegetation cover and the dependence of these processes on the content of chemical elements in edaphic soils in the impact zone of a coal mine spoil tip are presented. It has been established that succession processes occur in areas with a high phy...

Background concentrations and remediation strategies for heavy metals in soil ecosystems

The relevance of the present study is related to the growing anthropogenic pressure on Ukraine’s land resources. This pressure has been further intensified by the consequences of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, which has continued since 2022. The destruction of industrial infrastructure and the extensive use o...

Technogenic pollution of soils in Eastern Kazakhstan with heavy metals: assessment of forms, environmental risk, and spatial structure

Technogenic soil pollution with heavy metals is one of the key factors of environmental risk in the industrial regions of the East Kazakhstan region. The paper presents a comprehensive assessment of the agro-ecological condition of soils in the zones of influence of mining and metallurgical enterprises with the analysi...

Chemical pollutants in the soil of Novi Pazar and ecological risk assessment

Soil pollution by chemical pollutants poses a critical threat to environmental quality and human health. This study investigates the concentration, composition and spatial distribution of selected chemical pollutants - including heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Ni, Hg, Zn) and organic matter in urban soil of the city of Novi Paza...
