Method of Investigation of Soil Contamination with Heavy Metals at the Sites of Explosions

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study evaluates the method of investigation of soil contamination with heavy metals at the sites of explosions. Results of method application were obtained. Soil samples were collected in location selected as the typical place were explosions take place for explosive objects destruction. For the qualitative and quantitative analysis of soil samples, the "KBr tablets" method was used. Obtained pellets were investigated with spectral-analytical installation created on the basis of infrared-spectrometer IKS-21 and thermal imager LAND-814. IR spectrometric research was carried out in the most informative spectral range of wavelengths of 7.5...14 μm. Proposed method of investigation of soil contamination with heavy metals at the sites of explosions allowed to identify presence of such metals as Al, Cu, Fe, Mg, Ni and Zn in soil samples of explosion site. Mg, Ni and Zn show stable presence in the soil of explosion site with low amount. Al, Cu and Fe we have seen sharp decrease of logarithmic transmittance value at the depth of 10…15 cm which means that these elements are accumulated at these depths of soil after explosions.
