On average content of volatile aromatic hydrocarbons, total PCB, manganese, cadmium, mercury,
lead, chrome and tin the soils of the territory of the radar station commandant s office fall into clean
class; on average content of lead, cadmium, zinc, petroleum hydrocarbons and total PCB
hazardous class; on average content of cobalt, copper, nickel and benz(a)pyrene extremely
hazardous pollution class.
The values of the total soil pollution index Zc calculated for a series of metals varied from 22.0
(moderately hazardous pollution class) up to 52.7 (hazardous pollution class), with a site average
of 41.6 hazardous class.
In sampling point S04-05-5, site 313 for nickel, in point S04-07-7, site 316 for copper, in point S04-
06-6, site 312 for benz(a)pyrene MPC APC and values max were exceeded (according to MU
2.1.7.730-99), to correspond to very hazardous soil pollution class.
In whole, the level of soil pollution of the territory of the radar station commandant s office can be
assessed as hazardous.
Assessment according to international standards
Permissible concentrations (PC) of oil products, total PAHs, total PCB, cobalt, copper, tin, were
exceeded in the site s soils at separate points, including:
for oil products - up to 154 PC units;
for cobalt up to 3.1 PC units;
for copper - up to 7.2 PC units;
for tin up to 1.1 PC units;
for total PAH up to 1.3 PC units;
for total 7 PCB up to 2.5 PC units;
for total 15 PCB 3.4 PC units.
The average value of pollutant content exceeded PC in the area for oil products - 32.6 times, for
copper - 5.0 times, for cobalt - 2,5 times.
It is necessary to pay special attention to the fact that the level of soil contamination with oil
products at the site exceeds the intervention level both in the average value, and in the values at
separate points of geoecological testing (up to 1.5 IL). It is also should be noted that total 7 PCB is
up to 2.5 PC, total 15 PCB is 3.4 PC;. The maximum amount of 15 PCB congeners was revealed in
point S04-09-9 metal scrap and metal drum dump site 317 (30 m from the observation post of the
radar station commandant's office, site 318).
Figures 5.2.8-5.2.9 present spatial characteristics of soil and ground pollution of the area of PCB
dumps in PC units and pollution with a set of heavy metals (index Zc).
