Rezumat

The old pesticide storages are polluted as a rule by POPs, PAHs, heavy metals or other toxic substances. Near 70 POPs polluted sites with different pollution level (from 0.1 to 899.0 mg/kg) are situated in the area of Low Prut river basin which were detected by the inventory of old pesticide storages in Republic of Moldova (2009–2010). 6 sites have POPs concentration in soil on the level more 50.0 mg/kg. Two communities were studied more detail for the Environmental Risk Assessment from polluted sites: Slobozia Mare and Gotesti villages. Three sites for Slobozia Mare village and three sites for Gotesti village were evaluated. One unauthorized burial site was studied additional for Gotesti village. Toxic organic substances in soil samples were determined by GC and GC/MS equipment and international analytical methods (EPA, ISO). Incremental sampling methodology was used for soil pollution study. Pollution spectrum included some of the world’s most harmful chemicals including POPs (DDTs, HCHs, Chlordane, Heptachlor, Toxaphene), PAHs (17 toxic substances), Triazines, Trifluraline, and some heavy metal (Cu, Pb, Zn). The principal pollutants are DDTs and HCHs isomers. Studied sites have different geomorphologic, geological, hydro-geological and soil conditions which were evaluated for the Environmental Assessment Procedure as a factors of distribution potential. Depth and volume of polluted soil were evaluated for studied sites for the elaboration of possible remediation action. Two sites from Gotesti village have relative small risks for the environment. The most dangerous site for this locality is a unathorised burial. The volume of extra polluted soil (more 50 mg/kg) for Gotesti burial site is in the interval 12 – 15 m3 . The distribution potential of toxic substances is high. The risk for the environmental was characterized as very high. The concentration of POPs in surface soil at surrounding territory is changed from 0.35 to 4.5 mg/kg. The most problematic site for Slobozia Mare village is situated in the vineyard. This territory was separated at six lots for the sampling. The different contamination level was indicated in surface soil from these lots (0.6 - 12.7 mg/kg). The aproximate volume of polluted soil was calculated in the interval from 400 to 800 m3 . The distribution potential is evaluated as middle to high. The risk for the environmental was characterized as very high. The concentration of POPs in surface soil at surrounding territory is changed from 0.35 to 4.5 mg/kg. The most problematic site for Slobozia Mare village is one situated in an actual vineyard. This territory was separated at six lots with different a contamination level in surface soil from 0.6 to 12.7 mg/kg. The evaluated volume of polluted soil was calculated from 400 to 800 m3 . The distribution potential is in the interval from middle to high. The risk range is very high for this site. The huge volume of moderate polluted soil on this agriculture land should be remediated but needs a big volume of excavation work. The possible remediation actions for studied sites are recommended after the complex study of pollution spectrum and geotechnical conditions for every site. The conclusion is that POPs polluted sites near of old pesticide storages have a high risk for the environment and public health. Pollution spectrum is complex and distribution potential provokes a migration of toxic substances over long distances.
