Abstract
This Decision establishes comprehensive sanitary, hygienic, and environmental requirements for assessing soil quality and contamination, including maximum permissible concentrations (MPCs) and tentative permissible concentrations of exogenous harmful substances in soil. The regulation defines key concepts such as soil pollution and exogenous contaminants and sets criteria for evaluating chemical, microbiological, virological, parasitological, entomological, and biological indicators of soil quality in urban, agricultural, industrial, and environmentally sensitive areas.
The regulation introduces detailed methodologies for evaluating soil contamination risks to human health and the environment. Special provisions address urban soils, children's playgrounds, agricultural land, and industrial waste sites. It requires assessment of heavy metals, pesticides, petroleum products, pathogenic microorganisms, parasites, radionuclides, and other contaminants. The document also establishes procedures for soil sampling, laboratory testing, monitoring frequencies, and interpretation of results. For agricultural land, contamination is classified into permissible, moderately hazardous, highly hazardous, and extremely hazardous categories, with corresponding restrictions on land use and crop production.
In addition, the regulation contains extensive annexes listing sanitary indicators, contamination criteria, hazard classifications for chemical substances and industrial wastes, and numerical permissible concentration limits for numerous pollutants, including arsenic, mercury, lead, cadmium, chromium, nickel, copper, pesticides, and other hazardous substances. It also specifies microbiological and parasitological standards for different land categories and provides concentration limits for dozens of pesticides used in agriculture.
