Abstract
The influence of urban development parameters on the pollution of soil cover with heavy metals and metalloids (HMMs) has been assessed. The residential area of the Ulan-Ude city was chosen as an object of the study. The greatest impact of the building patterns on the HMMs emission (Z d ) was identified in an area with a radius of 150 m. Contamination of soil cover with HMMs has been observed with an increase in the total and average building area, i.e. in the building density, and in proximity of buildings to the sampling point. Integral soil pollution by HMMs (Z c ) is 1.6–2.0 times higher for the cases with high surface area of buildings and their proximity in prevailing NW and SW wind directions. The impact of sorption properties of the soils on the HMM content is more pronounced due to their low buffer capacity.
