Distribution of heavy metals in soils of catena complexes on border of sanitary and protective zones of mining enterprises

Work is devoted to questions of studying the migration of heavy metals in soils in close proximity to objects of production and processing the iron ores at the territory of Starooskolsko-Gubkinsky industrial region. Some catenary complexes located in close proximity to dumps and tailings are investigated. Contents of heavy metals in soils are defined, factors of lateral and radial differentiation of concentration are calculated.
