Abstract

In laboratory model experiments, the ecotoxicity of Tl was assessed by changing the microbiological, biochemical and phytotoxic properties of soils in the South of Russia: ordinary chernozem (Haplic Chernozem (Loamic)), seropesks (Eutric Arenosol) and brown forest slightly unsaturated soil (Eutric Cambisol), differing in granulometric composition, pH and organic matter content. As a rule, there was a direct relationship between the concentration of Tl and the degree of deterioration of the studied soil properties. Tl nitrate showed higher ecotoxicity than oxide. The strongest ecotoxic effect of Tl was manifested on chernozem and seropesks 10 days after contamination, on brown forest soil — 30 days later. Restoration of biological properties of soils was observed for 90 days. Ordinary chernozem showed the greatest resistance to Tl contamination, and seropeski showed the least. The results obtained indicate a high ecotoxicity of Tl.
