Lake Atamanskoye is one of the most polluted aquatic environments in the South of Russia. This water body was affected by long-term pollution by effluent from industrial rayon plants located in the city of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. Accumulation of pollutants resulted in the degradation of Lake Atamanskoye, which is currently drained. This research focused on the geochemical transformation of soils and vegetation within the territory of the former water body and its surroundings. Methods of study included the evaluation of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soils and plants by X-ray fluorescence, as well as the contents of their forms by sequential extraction and statistical processing of the data. The results revealed that Spolic Technosols and Fluvisols represent the most widespread soils within Lake Atamanskoye. The concentration of metals found in the soils of the lakebed is several orders of magnitude higher than the regional geochemical background and world soil baseline values due to long-term industrial pollution. The natural and technogenic soils were subdivided into two groups according to pH. Alkaline soils in the presence of carbonates were characterised by high levels of PTEs, while acidic soils with higher proportions of exchangeable fractions and higher potential for metal accumulation in adjacent plants had lower levels of PTEs.

阿塔曼斯科耶湖是俄罗斯南部污染最严重的水生环境之一。该水体受到位于卡缅斯克-沙赫廷斯基市的工业人造丝工厂的污水的长期污染。污染物的积累导致目前已排干的阿塔曼斯科耶湖退化。这项研究的重点是原水体及其周围地区土壤和植被的地球化学转化。研究方法包括通过 X 射线荧光评估土壤和植物中的潜在有毒元素 (PTE)，以及通过数据的顺序提取和统计处理来评估其形式的内容。结果表明，Spolic Technosols和Fluvisols代表了阿塔曼斯科耶湖内分布最广的土壤。由于长期的工业污染，湖床土壤中发现的金属浓度比区域地球化学背景和世界土壤基线值高出几个数量级。根据 pH 值将天然土壤和技术土壤分为两组。存在碳酸盐的碱性土壤以高水平的 PTE 为特征，而具有较高比例的可交换部分和较高的邻近植物中金属积累潜力的酸性土壤具有较低水平的 PTE。
