The concentration of heavy metals in the energy crops phytomass when grown in the conditions of Zhytomyr Polissia

The high level of anthropogenic pressure on agro-landscapes recently leads to an increased their contamination with heavy metals, which are among the most harmful chemical pollutants for environment. Heavy metals transmitted through trophic chains a pronounced cumulative effect, in connection toxicity can appear suddenly individual links chains. danger from is determined by fact that, unlike organic pollutants, they do not break down, but change one form another. Based results study, it was established that accumulation energy plants depended type crop. Thus, proved concentration crops when grown territory radioactive within limit permissible concentrations. lowest toxicants noted all were without fertilizers. subject study (Silhium perfoliatum L., Sorghum almum Parodi, Bunias orientalis Sida hermaphrodita Rusby, Miscanthus giganteus G.), plants, sod-podzolic sandy soil, mineral Therefore, purpose our research determine phytomass areas contaminated radionuclides as result accident at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant toxic substances. When performing work, both general and special methods used: field – conducting stationary short-term experiments, analytical determining content G.). conducted during 2017−2020 soils village. Khrystynivka, Zhytomyr region, belongs zone unconditional (mandatory) resettlement (2nd contamination). Prospects further will be aimed establishing patterns distribution soil layers growing crops. Key words: Silhium G., lead, cadmium, copper, zinc.
