System of ecological monitoring of pedosphere pollution by petroleum products

The article proposes a topical scientific-applied task of increasing the level of ecological safety of the soil cover contaminated with petroleum products. The main tasks are to develop new methods of environmental monitoring of soil cover; research on the processes of migration of petroleum products in the soil cover in order to improve the quality of the degradation of degraded territories and to develop forecast models for the timely identification of areas that are at risk of contamination; establishment of dependencies between the state of contamination of soils with petroleum products and their genesis and identification of patterns of propagation of the pollutant in the studied environment. In the course of the research, the system of ecological monitoring of the soil cover with the use of the infrared spectrophotometry method was improved. The method of physicochemical analysis of soil samples is substantiated and dependencies between the state of soil contamination of petroleum products and their genesis are established.
