Landscape-geochemical approach to solving problems of environmental pollution

This paper shows under which loads of pollutants their accumulation in soils occurs with the course of time. A map of soil contamination with fluorine, reflecting the patterns of its secondary differentiation in steppe geosystems is presented. The features of the fluorine distribution in soils depending on environmental conditions, as well as the factors that ensure the self-cleaning of soils under conditions of contamination, are revealed. The necessity of reducing dust and gas emissions from the production of aluminum is identified.
