Abstract

Heavy metals and fluorine are priority industrial pollutants that significantly affect the environment. The levels of heavy metals and fluorine in soils, carbonate soil formations and plants of the Minusinsk Basin are determined in this study. The high content of such heavy metals as zinc, lead, cobalt, nickel, vanadium, chromium in soils and carbonate pendants is probably due to the anthropogenic factor. High strontium and hafnium contents in soils and carbonate pendants are associated with lithogenic factor. The fluorine content in the soils and plants near the Sayanogorsk aluminum smelter impact reaches maximum concentrations of 10–12 ppm near the plant.
