Abstract
Ecotoxicity of dust was assessed for different functional zones in three Moscow districts. Ecotoxicity was estimated by the reaction of higher plants using a new approach to the implementation of biotesting method and by changes in the biomass and respiration of microorganisms in residential and transport zones as compared to recreational zones. The proposed method of assessing urban dust toxicity upon modeling dust transfer to soil-like substrates allowed us to solve the main methodological problem, i.e., the choice of control. By the example of perennial ryegrass (Lollium perenne L.), it was found out that annual volume of dust deposition upon a high load within a one-meter zone from the road surface does not manifest toxicity, whereas a three-year volume suppresses plants up to 27% relative to the control. No significant differences were found between the phytotoxicity of dust in different functional zones; and phytotoxicity did not correlate with any of the studied properties of dust (organic carbon content (Corg), pH, electrical conductivity, moisture capacity, particle-size composition). Basal respiration and carbon content in microbial biomass (Cmic) of dust were maximal in the recreational zones of the city (3.1–7.2 μg C–CO2 g–1 h–1 and 314–435 μg g–1, respectively) decreasing by 27–71% in residential and by 76–81% in the transport zones. Significant correlations of basal respiration and Cmic with Corg were observed (rS = 0.57 and 0.61, respectively, p < 0.05, n = 49). High values of microbial metabolic quotient qCO2 of dust and a small share of Cmic in Corg indicate unfavorable conditions for microorganisms.
期刊介绍：
Eurasian Soil Science publishes original research papers on global and regional studies discussing both theoretical and experimental problems of genesis, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, fertility, management, conservation, and remediation of soils. Special sections are devoted to current news in the life of the International and Russian soil science societies and to the history of soil sciences.
Since 2000, the journal Agricultural Chemistry, the English version of the journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences Agrokhimiya, has been merged into the journal Eurasian Soil Science and is no longer published as a separate title.
