The present study was carried out to describe the characteristic features of potentially toxic metals (PTMs) in the soil of industrial city, Kolchugino–Vladimir Region–Russia. The mass fractions in mg/kg of Cu, Pb, Zn, and Cd were measured by atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS). Multivariate statistical analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), were performed. The obtained results of the potentially toxic elements were mapped using ArcGIS. A total of four pollution indices were calculated to identify the areas with significant pollution associations. The data analysis showed that locations 14 (urban area) and 16 (non-ferrous metallurgy plant) contribute significantly to pollution. Maximum likelihood method was used to classify the land-use and land-cover (LULC). The analysis shows that locations 14 and 16 are belonging to the industrial area on LULC. Great attention should be paid to the control and regulation of waste disposal into the environment, which in turn, has an adversely impact on human health. By using the data, it could help to identify areas where waste control measures need to be implemented, such as increasing recycling or introducing more waste control legislation. It could also help to identify areas where waste control efforts have been successful. Data can be used by government, policymakers, and stakeholders for future planning and R&D activities.

Аннотация. В работе дана характеристика новой системы управления отходами, реализо-ванной структурным подразделением финского концерна L&T ООО «Российско-финская компания «Экосистема» в наукограде Дубна Московской области. В городе осуществлен стопроцентный раздельный сбор отходов, действует двухконтейнерная система сбора от-ходов, работает мусоросортировочный комплекс (МСК). Анализ данных, полученных с МСК, показал, что выход вторичных материальных ресурсов из потока ТКО, поступивших на сортировку в период с 2011 по 2015 гг., составил от 5,2 % до 10,1 %. Эколого-эконо-мическая оценка системы обращения с ТКО в Дубне выполнена для двух альтернативных вариантов. Приведены расчёты затрат на извлечение вторичного сырья, поступившего на МСК, прибыли от реализации получаемого вторичного сырья, затрат на захоронение потока ТКО на полигоне. Показано, что ежегодный эколого-экономический эффект от внедрения новой системы управления ТКО на территории г. Дубна Московской области составляет 4,36 млн. руб. 1Ключевые слова: твердые коммунальные отходы, город, Московская область, раздельный сбор мусора, мусоросортировочный комплекс, эколого-экономическая эффективность. Abstract. We present the characteristics of a new waste management system, implemented by the structural division of the Finnish company L&T, The Russian-Finnish company 'Ecosystem' in the science town of Dubna, Moscow region. The operation of the waste sorting facility has ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF A NEW SYSTEM OF MANAGEMENT OF SOLID COMMUNAL WASTE IN THE TOWN OF DUBNA, MOSCOW REGION

Moscow is a large metropolis in which the air is affected by the constant effects of chemicals produced by industrial facilities, vehicles, residential heating and other human activities on a daily basis. The protected and park areas on the territory of Moscow have an important recreational role, therefore, air quality control in these territories should be carried out first. Active moss biomonitoring has been used as an alternative method to conventional atmospheric monitoring for more than 40 years. This type of biomonitoring is successfully applied all over the world: in China, Serbia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Italy, Romania, etc. In this study, active moss biomonitoring was used for the first time on the territory of the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve to assess the air pollution. The moss species Sphagnum girgensohnii was chosen for the experiment. Neutron activation analysis was used to determine the concentrations of the elements: Na, Mg, Al, Cl, K, Ca, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Se, As, Br, Rb, Mo, Sr , Sb, Ba, Cs, La, Sm, Tb, Ce, Hf, Ta, W, Th, and U. The concentrations of Pb, Cu, and Cd were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry.
