“…Specifically focusing on Aydarken region has revealed localized industries like mining plants in addition to tailings dump acting as primary sources contributing to chronic mercury pollution. Anthropogenic influence significantly disrupts the normal biogeochemical cycle of heavy metals [5,6]. The main sources of pollution in the investigated mercury province of Aydarken are the mining plant and the tailings dump.…”

Kyrgyzstan holds a prominent position globally as a significant source of antimony and mercury, with considerable scope to enhance the output of these metals. Nevertheless, safety concerns related to mercury possess both ecological and societal consequence, which demand attention. Transport and transformation dynamics of mercury within ecosystems necessitates specific focus. This article elucidates findings from physicalchemical analyses carried out in Mercury Province of Aydarken - situated within Kyrgyzstan’s Batken area - over a span of four years (2013 - 2017). The research delved into exploring different soil types and their individual mechanical components at various sea-level altitudes ranging from 1684 m to 2078 m. The investigation used atomic absorption techniques to gauge levels of mercury concentration in the soil cover; noteworthy observations emerged during this process. It was discerned that across every zone studied, there was an elevated level of concentration compared not only to control plots but also against Maximum Permissible Concentration (MPC) thresholds pertinent for safety standards: this held notably true around areas such as tailing dumps and metallurgical plants with variations observable per proximity from contamination sources.

“…Mentioned mercury features determine the interest of ecologists by investigation of this element in the environment. In addition, monitoring of mercury content in the components of the environment of cities, where there are no specialized "mercuries'" industries, was provided by its high ecotixicity even in low concentrations [4,12].…”

The article deals with the experimental data, on which base the mercury level and modes of occurrence are detected in the insoluble fractions of aerosol in snow and in snowmelt water in the impacted areas of Seversk thermal power plant. The geochemical indices were calculated, the value of mercury load on the snow cover in the conventionally near field and far field impacted areas of fuel and energy complex enterprise was defined.
