The emission of fluorine compounds by industrial plants that process phosphorites and apatites and the spread of their wastes become one of the main sources of formation of a persistent technogenic anomaly nearby Taraz (Zhambyl) town in Kazakhstan. Ecological-geochemical monitoring of the content of this element in the environmental objects is an essential measure because of the severity of consequences caused by hyperfluorosis. The study aimed to evaluate the levels of fluorine in the water, soil, and plants. Loc...

The authors were the first to study the main parameters of the mineral metabolism of plants that grow in the Plast Region of the Chelyabinsk Oblast in biogeocenosis with different technogenic impact. The study included the samples of plants taken from the surface of the Novotroitsk tailing dump of the gold-arsenic deposit and similar samples from the reference areas (>15 km from the technogenic formation). The samples of spring sedge (Carex praecox), feather grass (Stipa pennata), poison hemlock (Conium maculatum)...
