Abstract

A method of determining the parameters of the soil state and assessing the quality of soils subject to anthropogenic loads was substantiated. An equation for the state function was derived in the general form, and a method was proposed for determining the equation parameters based on the interpretation of the experimental “dose-response” relationships. A schedule was developed for the environmental assessment of the soil quality. Procedures were substantiated and specified for assessing the state and quality of erosion-hazardous soils, the quality of the air with an unorganized dust source, the state and quality of the water on the basis of biotesting, the integrated assessment of the soil state under multiple loads, and the environmental-economic assessment of the quality of lands and waste disposal sites.
