Development of a methodology for assessment of contaminated territories based on the utilization of direct spectral probing with the implementation of state indices

The study describes the process of survey of contaminated territories using contact spectral sounding. The main stages of the survey are considered, including preparation for work, data collection, their processing and analysis, as well as interpretation of the obtained information. Contact spectral sounding allows obtaining data for calculation of soil condition indices, which values make it possible to determine the degree of soil contamination. As a result, this approach provides a more complete understanding of the contamination of territories and can be used to identify and manage environmental risks.
