Abstract

The pollution of the territory of Chelyabinsk by heavy metals (Cu, Co, Ni, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Mo, and Hg) upon coal combustion is evaluated. The concentrations of Zn, Pb, Cd, and Hg in the soils of this territory and the concentrations of Cd and Hg in water were found higher than health standard values (approximate permissible concentrations and maximum permissible concentrations) by factors of 1.5–20, 6, and 2, respectively.
