Висвітлено результати визначення забруднення ґрунтів територій вуглевидобувних підприємств Луганської області. Виявлено ореоли техногенного забруднення геологічного середовища. Встановлено, що основні ореоли забруднення знаходяться на проммайданчиках вуглевидобувних підприємств. Визначено основні елементи-забруднювачі ґрунтів району досліджень. Наведено порівняння із природним
фоном інтенсивності техногенних аномалій.
Characterized are changes in the geological environment due to the influence of metallurgical, chemical and coal-mining industry in the Luhansk region. The analysis of the
work was performed during the period from 1961 to 2007. The influence of man-made
coal-mining complex in the geological environment was studied. The results of the determination of anthropogenic soil pollution areas of industrial and mining enterprises of Luhansk region were cited. The background content of elements in soils was determined for
34 elements. Haloes were identified as industrial pollution of the geological environment.
The basic elements of soil contaminants of the study area were substantiated. The total
indices of contamination for soil waste coal-producing region of the complex were calculated. Comparison with the natural background of intensity of technogenic anomalies
was made. It is established that the maximum contamination is confined to sites bottom of
mining and industrial processing plants, refineries, located in the region. Recommendations were given for implementation of the forecast changes in soil and environmental
conditions in the region, due to the “wet” coal mines in the conservation area.
