Аннотация

Introduction. The study of natural levels of hydrocarbons (HCs) content in soils is an urgent task, the solution of which will help to objectively assess the level of anthropogenic contamination of soils and timely limit the processes of extraction, processing, and transport of petroleum HCs. The analysis of HCs content in background soils will make it possible to reveal the regularities of their accumulation in the Arctic and Subarctic regions, taking into account the landscape and geochemistry of the areas.

Materials and methods. Representative samples of the main soil types were selected using the route method, taking into account the peculiarities of soil cover formation in different landscapes. The concentration of HCs in the samples was determined in hexane extracts based on their fluorescence intensity.

Results. The studies have shown that HCs accumulation and distribution in soil profiles are influenced by various factors such as soil genesis, relief, organic matter content, and physical clay. The highest HCs concentrations were observed in soils of accumulation landscapes on loamy sediments (Retisols), and the lowest in soils of eluvial landscapes on sands (Podzols). HCs profile differentiation is also more pronounced on loamy soils and less so on sandy soils. The results obtained allowed updating the existing database and mapping the HCs distribution in the background soils of the European Arctic and Subarctic.

Limitations. The limitation of the study is related to the fact that only background soils at a distance of at least 1 km from railways and motorways, 5 km from settlements and 10 km from industrial plants were sampled. In this paper, only natural HCs were analysed, without considering other classes of organic and inorganic compounds.

Conclusion. The data on the concentration of natural HCs in different background soils of the European North-East of Russia with respect to landscape-geochemical peculiarities have been obtained. The results provide an opportunity to assess the possible level of contamination of soils of the European Arctic and Subarctic. The HC content in organogenic horizons is shown to be characterised by a high accumulation capacity and act as an integral indicator of the aerotechnogenic load on the soil cover. Threshold values of HCs concentration are proposed for the studied soils, which are in a wide range from 3.4 to 40 mg/kg and can be used for ecological and hygienic assessment of high latitude soils.

Compliance with ethical standards. The study does not require the submission of the conclusion of the Biomedical Ethics Committee or other documents.
