Abstrakt: Proper determination of the type and mobility of pollutants is essential for the correct assessment of the environmental risk of soil pollution. The article provides a review of publications on the issue and reveals information on various high-tech methods based on the use of synchrotron radiation, capable of identifying the main mechanisms responsible for the mobility of pollutants in soil, as well as tracing their further movement along the food chain. Some plant species are effective bioindicators of the ecological state of the technogenic environment. We substantiate the necessity for complex diagnostics of the structure of the studied samples by the methods of synchrotron radiation for studying the speciation of metals. Further progress in soil and plant research can be achieved through an interdisciplinary approach that aims to develop research platforms at the molecular level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
