ECOLOGICAL AND MONITORING STUDIES OF OIL PRODUCTION TERRITORIES AND POSSIBILITY OF THEIR USE IN RECREATION

The results of the primary ecological monitoring on distribution of separate heavy metals on territories of oil and gas production were studied. The objects of study were landscapes zones affected by NHVU “Dolynanaftogaz”, which is located in Dolyna district within the Carpathians. Samples were selected from 4 profiles that were made across the basic reaching of mountain ranges (from south-west to north-east) on the territory of the district for the determination of regularities of heavy metals distribution in soils and for an assessment of their ecological condition. On the second stage of work the studies of influence of small concentrations of heavy metals on cytogenetic features of soil according to the indicators of mitotical activity in primary root meristem of test object of Allium of cepa and induced aberrations of chromosomes in cells were conducted. Combination of these methods gives an opportunity to forecast influences of technogenic activity on human health and is the effective complex of ecological monitoring studies of soils in the technogenically changed territories.
