Soils and plants of Saint Petersburg are under the constant technogenic stress caused by
human activity in industrial, residential, and recreational landscapes of the city. To assess …

Concentrations and ratio of dissolved and suspended forms of metals and metalloids (MMs)
in snow cover and their deposition rates from the atmosphere in the western part of Moscow …

Background: Sediment deposition in the urban environment affects aesthetic, economic, and
other aspects of city life, and through re-suspension of dust, may pose serious risks to …

Почвы и растения Санкт-Петербурга испытывают техногенную нагрузку, связанную с
деятельностью человека в промышленных, селитебных и рекреационных зонах …

This study obtained the first dataset on the solubilities and partitioning of metals and
metalloids (MMs), including Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo …

In the current paper, the analysis of heavy mineral concentrate (Schlich analysis) was used
to study the particles of technogenic origin in the samples of urban surface-deposited …

A passive technique using solid state nuclear track detectors was developed to detect the
low-level gross alpha activity (A α) in low-mass size-fractionated (< 10 g) samples of urban …

Studies of gross alpha and gross beta activity in road-and surface-deposited sediments
were conducted in three Russian cities in different geographical zones. To perform radiation …

The proposed research is devoted to the effects of the urbanization on the soil cover through
the assessment of common organic and inorganic pollutants as well as anthropogenic …

Abstract The 238U, 232Th and 40K concentrations were estimated in the size-fractionated
urban surface deposited sediments in Ekaterinburg, Russia. The average concentrations of …
