MODERN GEOCHEMICAL SITUATION IN THE AREA OF MINING FACILITIES OF KURSK MAGNETIC ANOMALY (BY THE EXAMPLE OF MIKHAILOVSKY GOK)

They provided the results of geochemical situation analysis in the KMA region over the past 10 years on the basis of literature data and the materials of author's studies on the example of the Mikhailovsky ore mining and processing enterprise are presented. The statistical analysis of pollutant distribution dependencies is performed within the ore mining and processing enterprise impact zones, the areas of element dispersion were estimated, the indices of industrial and agro-industrial background have been calculated using the example of a model territory. A detailed analysis of the geochemical situation in the region made it possible to formulate the main principles and directions for the migration of macro- and microelements as a result of technogenic emissions. The ranking of pollutant elements was carried out and the groups of chemical compounds with the dependent dynamics of their content in the soils of the region under study were identified. Key words: landscape geochemistry, ore mining and processing enterprise, heavy metal contamination, Kursk magnetic anomaly (KMA), Mikhailovsky Ore Mining and Processing Plant (MGOK), technogenic landscapes
