Activity Concentration of Natural Radionuclides and Total Heavy Metals Content in Soils of Urban Agglomeration
The total heavy metal content and activity concentration of natural radionuclides were obtained in native and anthropogenically transformed soil of the Rostov agglomeration (south of the Russia). The specific activity of natural radionuclides in soils of the has been comparable with indicators typical for chernozems of the Rostov region. The increase of radionuclides activity is observed in the lower horizons, which is due to the nature of the radionuclides themselves and to the fact that the main source of their inflow into the soil cover and biosphere is the parent rock. The correlation between activity concentration of radionuclide and total content of heavy metals were derived by Spearman’s Rank-Order Correlation. The study was revealed that the activity concentration of thorium and radium doesn’t provide significant correlation with the total content of heavy metals. The group of buried horizons have shown a positive correlation with naturally occurring 40K in contrast with humus horizon (A). The carbonates-accumulating group of horizons (B, B b) have random correlation sign by each of metals. The most significant correlation was observed for the B horizons group.
