Heavy metals in soils of industrial, recreational and residential areas in Ufa city

The paper presents the results of study the heavy metal class 1 danger pollution in soil cover of 5 areas in Ufa city, different anthropogenic load. A ranking of the urban territory depending on toxic loading on the basis of monitoring experimental data in 1996-2007. Defined the total content of heavy metals (cadmium, mercury, lead, zinc, chromium and toxic metalloid - arsenic). Established maximum permissible concentration in Russian Federation on the content of lead in industrial zone (up to 4 MPC), zinc - at the intersection of highways (6 MPC), and widespread above content of chromium (3 MAC). It lays the foundations for the creation of ecological map of Ufa, proposed control points of sampling for the continuation the monitoring of heavy metals in urban soils.
