Abstracts: The large territories of modern cities are polluted by the various components, including toxic pollutants. Remediation of urban territories from pollution is one of the important problems of engineering geology and ecology. We develop electrokinetic methods of soil remediation for contaminated land in cities. In the electrokinetic remediation-method, contaminants are removed from soil and soil water by the action of an electric potential applied across electrodes embedded in the contaminated medium. This method is applied to removal from the soil pore solution of charged toxic components, such as ions of heavy metals (Zinc,Lead,Aluminium,Boron etc.)
