Assessment of the environmental situation on the territory of CJSC KTK-R and in the area of its direct influence

Abstract

The paper studies the environmental situation on the territory of CJSC “KTK-R” and in the zone of its direct influence. Direct sources of environmental pollution on the territory of the enterprise were identified. The results of biotesting substrate toxicity by sprouts of various indicator plants were analysed, the concentrations of heavy metals in soil, nitrates, sulphates and acid-alkaline balance were determined. Measures to reduce the negative environmental impact of wastewater treatment facilities were proposed.
