Spread of oil sludge effect

The territory of the Samotlor oil field currently locates certain objects that are sources of oil contamination. Remediating polluted lands and building sludge pits are not effective in terms of isolating the pollutants which effect the growth and development of plants when transported through air and soil. According to our analysis, many researchers are concerned about the problem of biogeocenosis impacted by anthropogenic factors. The present paper provides data on the pollutant content in the soil near an oil sludge pit at the Samotlor field. It has been discovered that oil sludge concentrated in pits makes diverse impacts on the environment. The soil texture conditions the way oil products are accumulated and change its chemical composition. This work is aimed at determining pollutants in soil and plants, as well as defining the pollutant transportation range. In the course of research, the authors studied a particular oil sludge pit area, described plant communities and made a chemical analysis of adjacent soil and plants...
