FEATURES OF HEAVY METALS DISTRIBUTION IN SOILS OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS IN EXPOSURE ZONE OF LIPETSK INDUSTRIAL AGGLOMERATION
The regularities of distribution of heavy metals in the snow cover and soils of agricultural lands of the impact zone of enterprises of the Lipetsk industrial agglomeration were studied. It is established that the main fallout occurs at a distance of 2-3 km from industrial enterprises. The content of heavy metals in the soil varies significantly de- pending on the source of pollution, the direction and nature of the underlying surface. Most of the heavy metals are concentrated in soil layers 0-2 and 2-5 cm, the content of which is 1.2-8.5 times higher than in the parent rock.
