METHOD TO ASSESS CONTAMINATION OF ENVIRONMENT WITH IRON, ZINC, MANGANESE Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01N21/27 

FIELD: ecology.

SUBSTANCE: invention is intended for use in the field of ecology, geoecology, nature management, spectrometry, scientific-educational sphere, resource science (to assess quality of vegetable materials), in particular, to detect contamination of urbanised territories with iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn). Method includes registration of spectrum of electromagnetic radiation reflection in leaves of coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara L.) in visible range, measurement of coefficient of spectral brightness, detection of spectral parametres and correlation analysis with standard. Extent of environmental pollution is detected by value of deviation of spectral parametres from standard.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to reduce time required to assess pollution of environment.
