The article substantiates the need for a comprehensive assessment of the state of the ecosystem. To do this, it is necessary to carry out studies of the state of soil, water and vegetation cover with various instruments. Testing in a stationary laboratory using a trial area. For additional control of the vegetation cover, use the results of video filming and research using a thermal imager and a radar station. The latter method is extremely effective if the soil or plants contain large quantities of radioactive substances or heavy metals. For research, use previously compiled maps of contamination of territories using GIS technologies. Comparison of these data will help establish causal factors of pollution. In addition, it is possible to reveal the migration of pollution under the influence of various climatic phenomena, etc. The use of high-resolution instruments (for example, an X-ray spectrometer or a power optical microscope) allows one to determine the entire spectrum of contamination in soil, in water and on plant samples. This allows in the future to assess the behavior of chemical elements in the “soil-plant” system to determine the possibility of cleaning the area using plants. Of particular interest is the burning of fallen leaves with burying waste in the ground.
