[Assessment of the toxic effects of a combination of chemicals contained in the soil].

A technique of the assessment of toxic effect of a combination of chemicals in soil on the organism of mammals has been developed. It is based on the investigation of the damaging effect of components of the combination when they get into the organism through the soil-contiguous media on the level of summary 24-hour doses, as well as when their residues get into the organism with food, water, air and through the skin. A method calculating the threshold dose of each component of the combination in soil according to the toxicological harm index is suggested.
