Abstract
Sequential fractionation of lead compounds from the urban and suburban soils of Moscow and eastern Moscow region was performed using the Tessier method. It was found that strongly bound lead compounds retained by Fe and Mn hydroxides were predominant in the background (reference) soils of the Meshchera Lowland in Moscow oblast. The content of almost all the lead fractions, except for the hydroxide fraction, increased in the contaminated soils. The quantitative proportions of the particulate fractions varied depending on the distance from the city, the physicochemical properties of the soils, and the land use. The profile distribution of the lead was of accumulative character; the metal was fixed on the biogeochemical barrier, where the lead compounds of the fourth fraction bound to organic matter are mainly accumulated.
