The study of metals in oil-contaminated peat has double meaning. Firstly, it is diagnostic as convenient and simple The method of soil condition monitoring, and secondly, the ecological method to predict the state of the peat bog as a biocenosis element. Every pollutant elements in contaminated peat are divided into two bands. Some of them (Ti, V, Cr, Ni, Zr, Ba, Y, La, Ce, Nd) accumulate in the upper, bituminous layer of peat. Other elements (halogen chlorine, as well as metals: Ca, Mp, Zn, Cu, Sr), on the contrary, migrate deep into the peat layer with light fractions hydrocarbons. For capturing particularly moving Cu metals, Zn needs to be equipped with artificial geochemical barriers to prevent pollutants from entering groundwater and open ponds.
