Abstract
The patterns of distribution of trace elements in bio-inert systems (soils, natural waters) of natural and urbanized landscapes of the forest-steppe zone of Ukraine were studied. The data were obtained on the gross content of heavy metals in soils of conditionally clean territories of Kyiv, Cherkasy and Poltava regions, as well as urbanized landscapes of the city of Brovary and Kyiv landfill №5. In the soils of the city of Brovary and landfill №5, the content of heavy metals significantly exceeds background indicators. The authors conducted research on the trace element composition of drinking groundwater in the territory of Korostyshiv district of Zhytomyr regions. An insufficient amount of Li, V, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb was found. In the future, it is necessary to conduct monitoring observations of changes in the chemical composition of groundwater in Korostyshiv district of Zhytomyr regions.
