CONTENT AND NATURE OF LEAD DISTRIBUTION IN THE FOOTHILL DAGHESTAN SOILS
Spatial and profile distribution of lead, which is one of the major pollutants in the soils of foothill Daghestan, has been studied. Comparative evaluation of the content of total and mobile lead in the main types of soil is given. It has been found that lead content in the soils depends on the soil type and parent rock. Between indicators of lead and clay particles there has been found positive correlation, though the negative one - between humus content, pH, and lead.
