The way of definition of formaldehyde in water by the method of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with the use of solid-phase extraction for concoction and extraction of the analyzed derivative formaldehyde is presented. The method is distinguished by the simplified and accelerated procedure of the sample preparation in comparison with classical liquid extraction. Chromatographic division of substances was reached on the turned phase column C18 with the use of mixture of the deionized water and an acetonitrile as a mobile phase. Definition was carried out at absorption wavelength of 360 nanometers. Linearity was reached in the ranges of concentration from 1 to 200 mcg/l. Full validation of a method is carried out. For control samples of all levels, including the lower limit of quantitative definition, the value of repeatability (RSD) accounted for ≤15%. The index of the accuracy amounted to ≤10%. The presented way showed good validation characteristics and can be recommended for the simplification and acceleration of the determination of the content of formaldehyde in water by the HPLC method

On the outskirts of cities landfill bodies are formed, the territories of which are later used in urban planning. Over the buried landfill soils which represent construction and household garbage, methane flows are formed, which worsen the environmental conditions of the territories and negatively affect the psychosomatic health of residents. The goal was to study methane emissions from various buried landfills in Moscow. Our study on urbanized ecosystems in Moscow revealed different methane emissions in the soils. Thus, over young landfill bodies, the concentration of methane in the soils was 8 -16 ppm. This led to the release of methane into the atmosphere of the capital city. In the old landfill bodies, the concentration of methane in the soil was 1-2 ppm and did not cause methane emissions into the urban atmosphere. The analysis of the obtained data revealed the absorption of methane by soils on old landfill bodies at high and very high methane oxidation (Lobochevsky, Zyuzinskaya, Brateevskaya, Kashirskoe Highway and Ochakovka Streets). For organomineral horizons of replantozems with an increased content of organic matter and a loamy granulometric composition, increased methane formation and oxidation of autochthonous gas with undetected emission were detected.In technogenic and gray-humus horizons of urbanozems, methane formation and methane oxidation were reduced.
