RUDN University researchers have shown that technogenic toxicants in the ecosystem are distributed unevenly. The reason for this is that they come from the source in “portions”. Further, an active interaction of technogenic and natural factors begins: soils temporarily deposit pollution and create conditions for the transformation of toxicants. Further, the buffer role of the roots is switched on, which do not allow some pollutants to pass through. From a practical point of view, these data are important for optimizing the traffic load in urban ecosystems and developing technologies for cleaning soils in the city.
