On the studying methods and assessment of soil pollution in Belarus

Abstract

The methodological aspects of study, soil monitoring and soil-geochemical research are analyzed from the point of view of approaches and methods for soil pollution assessment in order to identify differences and inconsistencies in the technical regulatory legal acts (TRLA) regulating these works. The analysis is carried out on the basis of TRLA valid in Belarus and literary sources, taking into account the experience in scientific researches, local soil monitoring and engineering-geoecological surveys. The inconsistencies and contradictions of the current TRLA in terms of the sampling network, the sampling sites size, sampling depth and soil quality standards are shown. The necessity of improving of the normative and methodological support for soil pollution study and assessment in terms of hygienic standards differentiation for chemicals concentrations in soils, depending on the categories and types of land use; the methodological approach unification of soil pollution study and assessment during the monitoring, soil pollution control and engineering-geoecological surveys; more precise regulation of the sample sites size and the sampling network density, depending on the purpose of soil pollution study and assessment are explained.
