Over the pastdecade, particular attention has been paid to studies of the chemical composition of medical plants to identify the possible negative consequences of using raw plant material polluted with heavy metals for the production of medical drugs. In our study, we analyzed the chemical composition of the medical plants growing in the impact area of the Novocherkassk power station. Specifically, the plants Artemisia austriaca, Poa pratensis and Elytrigia repenswere examined for the analysis.The content and distribution of Zn and Cd, which are most distributed in industrial emissions and belong to the first class of hazardous elements, were measured. The maximum permissible content (MPC) of Zn in the raw material of Artemisia austriaca and Elytrigia repens was found, as was the maximum content of Cd in all analyzed plants growing in the 5km area around thepower station. The plant Artemisia austriacawasfound to have Zn and Cd accumulation in itsabovegroundcomponents, while in Poa pratensis and Elytrigia repens, accumulation was in the roots. The morphobiometric parameters of the plants were mostly dependent on the soil properties, followed by the degree of technogenic load. The content of Zn and Cd in the medical drugs was higher than the MPC without visible features of heavy metal pollution and so these plants weredangerous for human health. Keywords: heavy metals, technogenic load, phytoreagents, morphometric parameters

The article presents the results of the research work on the peculiarities of recultivation of the ash dumps of power station No1 (PS1) in the city of Khabarovsk. The research showed that the climatic conditions of the region promote the dust dispersal of toxic agents from the surface of the ash dump. The pollution of the air basin here can be attributed to the extremely high level of pollution (EHP), the priority pollutant is the dust containing heightened concentrations of heavy metals (Pb, Mn, Cu, Cr, Co, Ni, Cd). As a result it leads to the deterioration of the population’s health, especially to the high level of respiratory organs diseases. The research of the sprouting of the herbaceous plants (mixture of timothy-grass, clover and mustard) on prepared model soils showed their healthy growth. The ash chemical composition was studied. It showed high concentration of toxic chemical elements (Hg, Be, Sr, Cd, V, Th, 40K, Cr, Mb, AS, Sb,Se, Te, Pb, Ni, Co). The migration intensity of heavy metals ions into the plants was analyzed. On the basis of the experimental research the optimum composition of the substrate was revealed and recommended for recultivating the ash dump of PS1, namely: soil+sand+ash. Climatic conditions of the Khabarovsk Krai do not permit to recommend the sand+ash substrate for recultivation because of strong winds.
