Abstract
Investigations were conducted at urban and rural sites of the Dniepropetrovsk Province (Ukraine) during the last decade, and were aimed at an assessment of the air pollution and the buffer capacity of local ecosystems. The following themes were considered in the study: the regional distribution of industrial emissions, the structure of the ecosystems, an estimation of the buffer capacity of the soil and vegetation cover.
