In Belgorod, the nature of environmental pollution sources and associated geochemical flows obeys general patterns. However, the city also has specific natural and climatic characteristics, which determine the scientific relevance of studying soil and ground pollution, as well as its practical significance for Belgorod. To identify patterns in the distribution of pollutants across the city, a pairwise comparison (correlation analysis) of macro- and microelement parameters of soil and ground samples was conducted.
