ECOLOGICAL IMPACT OF ANTIGLAZE TREATMENT ON SOILS OF THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MOSCOW.

Abstract

The environmental consequences of long-term use of de-icing salts (DS) in the Eastern Administrative District (EAD) ofMoscowmanifest themselves as anthropogenic salinity and alkalinity of soils. Chemical composition of reagents, levels and distribution patterns of soluble salts and exchangeable cations in snow meltwater and soils were described for different land-use zones. Mixtures of DS salts based on sodium chloride and sodium cause salinization and alkalinization of soils. These salts produce dispersion and peptization of soil colloids, which coagulate under the influence of salt electrolytes, thus increasing soil density. Alkalinization of snow cover in EAD is characterized by an average increase in pH compared to the background level by 0,6 units. The average salinity of meltwater is 19,4 mg/l, which is 2 times higher than the background values. According to the ion composition, snow waters belong to sodium chloride and calcium chloride classes due to the influence of the DS main salt compounds – NaCl and CaCl2. Inheriting the chemical composition of snow, urban soils acquired a neutral reaction (average pH 7,2), mineralization (15,2 cmol-eq/kg) and the solid residue (0,48%) which is 20–16 times higher than the background level. Ions of Cl and Na with enrichment factor about 100 prevail in the soil solution. According to the data of 2010, most urban soils had an average salinity and low degree of alkalinity. Extensive and contrasting technogenic anomalies of salts and exchangeable Na formed in the soil cover. Soils of traffic and industrial zones demonstrated the highest degree of salinity with NaCl and CaCl2 (up to 1,3–1,6% of solid residue) and alkalinity (up to 12–14,5% of the cation sum). Maps of soluble salts and exchangeable sodium content in the surface soil layer compiled for the EAD territory showed the extent of soil degradation as a result of its anthropogenic alkalinity. Degradation processes have affected more than 50% of the area. Soils near highways with a total area of 22,2% were assigned to the category of strongly and moderately degraded soils. Slightly degraded soils, which occupy 32% of the territory, remained in the center of the district. Non-degraded soils with an area of 45,8% are located in the residential area southward from the Enthusiasts’ highway, in park Kuskovo, as well as in the eastern part of the district located outside theMoscowautomobile ring road.
