Abstract
The results of studying relationship between low-frequency magnetic susceptibility and heavy metals (Cd, Mn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) in soils of Odesa are represented in the paper. Actual data analysis shows, that the level of pollution in the city remains high. It is obvious firstly from the high values of magnetic susceptibility 300-625·10−8 m3/kg, and secondly from the high concentrations of metals - indicators of anthropogenic pollution (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn). The content of these metals demonstrated significant correlation coefficients with low frequency magnetic susceptibility of soils. The map of spatial distribution of low-frequency magnetic susceptibility shows that southern and central parts of the city are polluted, a high values are mainly confined to highways and plants. Pollution load index is high (up to 4) for most points of the study area, thus the soil of Odesa are in poor conditions.
