- Abstract
- A risk assessment on human health from chemical soil pollution at the industrial city is carried out. Risk indicators, index of danger and individual carcinogenic risk, are calculated on the basis of the soil elemental composition data, selected on the territory of the city Tomsk by the network. The values of the individual carcinogenic risk and the index of danger do not exceed the critical level in the territories of a residential area. The territory has been ranked on the level of risk. That the areas of increased level risk are spatially confined to the industrial enterprises, fuel cycle. Priority pollutants are identified. It is shown that the geochemical data on the composition of soil and risk indicators, assessed according to these data, are essential and additional criteria of the chemical pollution level.
