“…These outcomes are comparable with the results previously obtained for Moscow (Nikiforova & Kosheleva, 2007) and other Russian cities such as Kaliningrad (Masleninikov & Skrypnik, 2015) and Volgograd (Kasterina, Okolelova, Zaikina, & Sherstnev, 2015). However, this surplus is negligible compared with the data reported for some industrial centers of Russia, where HM concentrations exceeded reference background values by a factor of 10 (e.g., Orsk [Dubrovskaya, 2013], Abakan [Yudina, 2016]) or even by a factor of 100 (e.g., Norilsk [Vodyanitskii, Plekhanova, Prokopovich, & Savichev, 2011] and Monchegorsk suburbs [Slukovskaya et al., 2019]). The dominant source of contamination can also differ between the cities.…”

“…The dominant source of contamination can also differ between the cities. Copper and Zn contamination often has an industrial origin (Vodyanitskii et al., 2011), whereas a dense road net and intensive traffic contribute to Pb accumulation in soils, as was shown for Moscow city (Nikiforova & Kosheleva, 2007). Measured contents of HMs in Moscow soils are also comparable with the results of soil surveys in other world megapolises.…”

Assessing and mapping urban soils as geochemical barriers for contamination by heavy metal(loid)s in Moscow megapolis

Urbanization is responsible for some negative environmental consequences, including soil contamination by heavy metal(loid)s (HMs). At the same time, urban soils can buffer HMs and perform as geochemical barriers. For the case of Moscow city, the soil contamination by multiple HMs as well as soil buffer capacity was analyzed, mapped, and considered to assess urban soils as geochemical barriers. Comparison with the health standards indicated contamination by different HMs in 30–60% of the observations, and Zn and Cd were the most widely spread contaminants. “Hotspots” of contamination were shown in the central and eastern districts of Moscow with the most intensive traffic and congregation of industries. New spatial patterns were shown for soil performance as geochemical barriers to multiple HM contamination. High buffer capacity of loamy and slightly alkaline soils in the city center with high contamination level resulted in a better performance of soil geochemical barriers compared with some green zones and natural areas where low buffer capacity of loamy sandy and slightly acid soils were not enough to resist even relatively low contamination. The capacity of urban soil to perform a geochemical barrier for contamination by HMs is an important ecosystem service. Spatially explicit information on this ecosystem service can be highly relevant to assess environmental and health risks of urban soil contamination and to support decision making in urban planning and sustainable development.

“…Companies of Norilsk Nickel Mining and Metallurgical Company (Severonickel, Pechenganickel, Norilsk Nickel) are the most studied point sources of environmental pollution on the territory of Russia. In the zone of their impact, there is a disturbance of terrestrial ecosystems up to their complete degradation with the formation of technogenic wastelands [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. In recent decades, in many economically developed and some developing countries, there has been a reduction in the volume of atmospheric emissions from industrial enterprises as a result of improving production and treatment technologies, as well as reducing production or transferring it to other territories.…”

The article presents the results of long-term monitoring of the state of boreal forest ecosystems (Kola Peninsula, European North of Russia) experiencing industrial pollution. The general regularities and distinctive features of the reaction of various components of pine forest ecosystems to joint action of gaseous and solid pollutants and contamination of albic rustic podzols by heavy metals under field experiment are characterized. A dynamic trend in soil and plant contamination levels has been identified, a vitality structure and growth rates of stands have been compared, as well as the state of undergrowth under airborne and soil pollution, the dynamics of the ground cover under soil pollution by heavy metals is characterized. Based on a comparative analysis of the level of soil contamination and the state of the components of pine forest communities, the limits of their tolerance to the toxic effect of heavy metals have been established.

“…During the processing of copper-nickel sulphide ores in the Kola Peninsula, slags are left with an ore concentration at a level of approximately 4%. The chemical and mineral composition of the slag evokes concern in the case of considering the possibilities of its reuse in the context of environmental nuisance [1][2][3]. One of the directions of research on the slag derived from processing the Cu-Ni sulphide deposits is focused on the possibility of changing its phase composition by oxidation and reduction during heat treatment to increase the contrast of properties of the individual phases for their effective separation with the enrichment method [4].…”

Heterogeneity of glass components in slag after nickel acquisition process from Kola Peninsula (Russia)Niejednorodność składników zeszklonego żużla pochodzącego z procesu hutniczego rud niklu z Półwyspu Kolskiego (Rosja) AbstractThe problem of the disposal of metallurgical slags in the copper-nickel industry also remains open in the Kola Peninsula area, where this kind of exploitation and processing of sulphide Cu-Ni deposits is conducted. The urgent need is to reuse the waste slag heaps through the effective manner of their use based on our available technologies. The slag obtained after processing sulphide copper-nickel ores in the Kola Peninsula contains about 4 wt.% of the ore. The chemical and mineral composition of the slag plays a key role when considering the possibility of its re-use in the context of environmental nuisance. The line of processing Cu-Ni sulfide deposits from the slag proposed by the authors is based on the ability to change the slag phase composition by its oxidation and reduction processes for the enrichment of ore mineralization for reuse. Keywords: metallic glass, slags, nickel metallurgy, de-sulphating StreszczenieKwestia utylizacji żużli hutniczych przemysłu miedziowo-niklowego pozostaje otwarta rów-nież na Półwyspie Kolskim, gdzie jest prowadzona eksploatacja i obróbka siarczkowych złóż Cu-Ni. Pilną potrzebą jest ponowne wykorzystanie hałd. W tym celu, przy zastosowaniu dostęp-nych technologii, poddaje się je efektywnemu przetworzeniu. Podczas przetwarzania siarczkowych rud miedzi z niklem w żużlu pozostaje około 4% wag. minerałów rudy. O ponownym wykorzystaniu żużla decyduje jego chemiczny i mineralny skład, który nie może zagrażać naturalnemu środowisku. Zaproponowany przez autorów projekt linii przetwarzania osadów siarczków Cu-Ni z żuż-la zakłada uzyskanie zmiany składu fazowego żużla w wyniku utleniania i redukcji w trakcie obróbki cieplnej, koniecznej do wzbogacenia mineralizacji rudnej, a tym samym do jej ponownego użycia.
