“…The results of the study confirm the opinion that, in comparison with other test biological objects show the greatest sensitivity to soil contamination with oil pollutants (Nikitina 2003). Decrease in germination of seeds of higher plants under the impact of hydrocarbons is also shown in the research works of other authors (Dzhambetova 2005). It was found that the content of hydrocarbons in the medium reduces the radish germination, seed germination in coniferous wood plants (Donets 2009).…”

The waters of the Kura River and the irrigation canals are phytotoxic and reduce the percentage of germination of cress-salad and barley seeds in comparison with pure water by 10-12%. After cleaning them on adsorbents, waters lose the phytotoxicity properties. This makes it necessary to solve the problems of cleaning irrigation waters from organic and inorganic pollutants in order to achieve sustainable development of agriculture in the country.

“…R the similar work was carried out in the most polluted settlements, where dozens of mini-plants were located. The level of soil contamination by oil products and genotoxicity of contaminated soils were studied using the same species T. officinale [5]. Table IV shows the concentrations of oil products and benz(a)pyrene in soils during the existence of mini factories and after their liquidation.…”

“…Of particular interest are the in situ studies carried out on plants, naturally living in contaminated areas, and plant test-systems. The influence of radiation accidents [1,2], heavy metal pollution [3,4], pesticides and oil products [5][6][7], industrial enterprises [8], as well as the conditions of urban areas [9][10][11] was studied using these methods.…”

The dynamics of the territories exposed to significant anthropogenic pollution by heavy metals (Kabardino-Balkar Republic) and oil products (Chechen Republic) were studied. The level of soil pollution and its genotoxic effect were determined during the intensive activity of the enterprises-sources of pollution, and 10-17 years after their liquidation. The level of soil contamination with heavy metals was determined using the method of X-ray fluorescence analysis, petroleum products by infrared spectroscopy and benz(a)pyrene by spectrofluorometric analysis at low temperatures. To determine the genotoxic effect of pollution we used plants naturally growing in the study areas (Taraxacum officinale Wigg. s.l.). We applied anaphase/telophase method in root meristem cells to identify the frequency of chromosomal aberrations. The level of mutations in plants in contaminated areas increased by 4.5-6.7 times during the work of enterprises. After the liquidation of enterprises, the level of pollution decreased. Mutation rate also declined but remained higher than in the clean zones by 3.3-3.5 times. Thus, it was found that, despite the decrease in soil contamination, the genotoxic effect persists.
