The damaging effectiveness of emissions of these sources of industrial pollution on plant sites and the population density of some invertebrates was determined. On this basis and the accumulation of lead and cadmium by the studied biological objects the commensurate distances covered by the biologically significant effect of emissions of the strong thermal power station and vehicles are determined.industrial pollutionplant facilitiesinvertebratesheavy metalsdegradation of the biotaтехногенное загрязнениерастительные объектыбеспозвоночныетяжелые металлыдеградация биоты
