“…For example, results of the soil pollution study on the Dnipro-Donets industrial region discussed by Jeleńska et al (2004) and Sukhorada et al (2004) showed that the surface values of magnetic susceptibility, saturation remanence and anhysteretic remanent magnetization for the polluted pro les sampled in the vicinity of metallurgical center Mariupol demonstrated a signi cant increase. Correlation analyses show a link between magnetic susceptibility and contents of Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cd, Co in urban soils of Mariupol, Chernivtsi, Odessa (Bondar et al 2016(Bondar et al , 2020Stakhiv et al 2017).…”

Metallurgical industries incorporated into the living environment of the city cause significant enrichment of the topsoil with harmful substances including small size particulate matter, which contains heavy metals and magnetic iron oxides. The present study is focused on characterization of magnetic and geochemical pollution accumulated by urban soils in the city of Zaporizhzhia. Industrial dusts from the most powerful emmitants of airborne pollution are also analyzed. Two types of magnetic industrial emissions were discriminated to contribute in urban soil magnetization: spread of coarse-grained magnetite-bearing particles is limited to industrial zone, while smaller magnetic spherules were traced to settle far from the pollution sources bringing significant amounts of heavy metals to the soil. Magnetic susceptibility, saturation remanence and anhysteretic ratio of soil samples show strong relationship with heavy metals contents and Pollution Load Index. Thus magnetic parameters can serve as reliable proxies for complex urban and industrial pollution of soils. The obtained results provide important insight into magnetism and geochemistry of urban soils in Zaporizhzhia, characterizing the pollution rate as it was before missile attacks, aerial bombardments and artillery shelling of the city by russian invaders started since 24 February 2022.

The paper is devoted to spatial distribution of low-frequency magnetic susceptibility (χ) of surface sediments in Chernivtsi city as an informative indicator of geochemical contamination of the topsoil. The bulk content of heavy metals in urban soils and the correlations between the χ, frequency dependence of magnetic susceptibility (kfd) and the content of Cd, Mn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn were studied. Χ vary from 10∙10-8 to 1286∙10-8 m3/kg with a median value of 66∙10-8 m3/kg. In 20 % of samples χ exceeds the median value three times or more, indicating that the soil is contaminated with iron dust and magnetic particulate matter derived from anthropogenic aerosols. Priority contaminants of city soils are metals such as Pb and Zn, the bulk content of which exceeds the trigger concentration in the vast majority of samples. The χ revealed strong correlation with bulk content of Pb and Zn and the weaker one, but still statistically significant, with Cu and Cd. An additional criterion for the common anthropogenic origin of heavy metals and magnetic minerals in soils is the significant negative correlation coefficients between kfd and content of Zn, Pb, and Cu. So, it can be argued that the increase in Zn, Pb, and Cu content is accompanied by an increase in concentration of magnetic minerals in the multidomain state. The maps were produced, showing spatial distribution of χ and Pollution Load Index (PLI), calculated by three metals (Zn, Pb, and Cu). For 51 % of the samples, the PLI indicates no contamination, 35 % indicate moderate contamination,14 % are strongly contaminated. These results prove that surface sediment over a large area of the city require measures to reduce their toxicity. The correlation coefficient between χ and PLI makes 0.88, indicating χ as a quick indicator of geochemical soil contamination in the city of Chernivtsi.
