Thermal power plants are a significant source of pollutant emissions, including heavy metals and metalloids (HMs). This paper presents an assessment of individual and total HM pollution of anthropogenically modified soils in the Novocherkassk State District Power Plant (NGRES) impact zone (Rostov Region, Russia). A comparative analysis of the results of soil pollution classification was performed applying the parameters widely used in domestic and foreign environmental monitoring practices: geoaccumulation index (Igeo) and concentration coefficient (Kc), total pollution index (Zc), modified complex total pollution index (Zct(g)), and Nemerov pollution index (NPI). The findings show that according to Kc, the priority pollutants of soils in the NGRES impact zone are Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd and As, while according to Igeo, only the last three elements pose a significant hazard. The maximum values of Zc and Zct(g) reach 21 and 27, respectively, which characterizes moderately dangerous total soil pollution, whereas according to NPI, an area of dangerous pollution has been identified in the impact zone of NGRES. The results obtained confirm the presence of aerotechnogenic impact of the thermal power plant on adjacent territories, at the same time, negative effects in the form of pronounced soil pollution with heavy metals appear within a radius of three km from the source.
