Soils of the Vorob'evy Gory nature park (Moscow) are characterized by a high content of technogenic ecotoxicants. Dangerous levels of pollution are fixed on ∼60% of soil cover for benzopyrene, ∼40% of soil cover for heavy metals, and ∼6% of soil cover for mineral oils. Besides the total high aerogenic load, the local sources of soil pollution in cities are highways; increased concentrations of heavy metals are also registered near unauthorized dumps. Benzopyrene and mineral oils are characterized by high migratory ability in soils and can form secondary auras of pollution in accumulative landscape facies.
