AbstractThe paper provides the hygienic characteristics of soil resources on the territory of oil-producing regions in the Republic of Tatarstan (RT). Soil pollution with heavy metals and oil was evaluated. Oil at the detectable concentrations was shown to cause changes in the physiochemical properties of soil, to impair its self-purification, to increase the resistance of soil pollutants, thus deteriorating the ecological-and-hygienic state of soil as a whole. The soils on the territory of oil-producing regions in RT were observed to be characterized by the low levels and poor ratio of essential trace elements, such as copper, zinc, and chromium. Significant soil manganese concentrations, the presence of arsenic and lead may be considered as factors aggravating the problem associated with deficiency of essential trace elements in the body and with the generation of endocrine biopathotype.
