On average content of volatile aromatic hydrocarbons, benz(a)pyrene, the sum of polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons, manganese, cadmium, chrome, mercury and tin, the area soils of the dumps
are classified as clean, the average content of zinc and petroleum hydrocarbons falls into a
hazardous pollution class, content of lead - into an extremely hazardous pollution class.
The values of the total soil pollution index Zc calculated for a series of metals varied from 37.4 up
to 76.8 (hazardous pollution class).
In point S01-03-3 MPC or APC was exceeded for copper, nickel and values of max (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 surveyed area of the radar station can be assessed as
hazardous.
Assessment according to international standards
Permissible concentrations (PC) of oil products, cobalt, copper and lead were exceeded in the site s
soils at separate points, including:
for oil products - up to 236.0 PC units;
for total 7 PCB up to 3.37 PC units;
for total 15 PCB up to 4.48 PC units;
for copper - up to 4.84 PC units
for lead - up to 4.49 PC units
for cobalt - up to 2.98 PC units.
The average value of pollutant content for the area was exceeded for oil products - 236 times, total
PCB - 3.37 times, for copper 4.1 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 (1.2 times), and in the
values at separate points of geoecological testing (up to 2.4 IL). The average value of total 7 PCB
congener is 1.31 PC; The average value of total of 15 PCB congeners is 1.73. The maximum
amount of 15 PCB congeners was revealed in point S01-01-1, site 38 (20 m from accumulations of
scrap metal and metal drums).
Figures 5.2.1 ,5.2.2 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).
FINAL REPORT for Contract No. CS-NPA-Arctic-13/2009 of December 01, 2009 within the framework of pilot project Development of
Technology of clean up of the area of Decommissioned Sites of The Russian Federation Ministry of Defense in the Arctic by the
Example of Alexanra Island of Franz Josef Land Archipelago from Hazardous Waste
