Abstract:
Biological characteristics of medicinal plants is largely determined by the place of their growth. This article
presents the results of a study the influence of the industrial zone on the vegetation, the study of the influence
of anthropogenic factors on the chemical composition of medicinal plants — hawthorn, sea buckthorn, yarrow
growing in different conditions. The impact of industrial natural geotechnical systems is considered by
the influence of JSC SSGPO (Sokolov-Sarbai Mining Production Association) and the adjacent territory of
Rudny city. Sokolov-Sarbai Mining Production Association develops deposits of iron ore by open pit and underground
methods. Analysis was performed with fruit, which is harvested from the territory of the industrial
mining zone, and with fruit which is harvested on the rural territory, located at a more remote distance from
the industrial zone, and pharmacy samples (Shymkent city). Alkalimetric method used for determining the total
acidity of all samples. Qualitative analysis of organic acids was carried out by a method of paper chromatography,
where the acids are extracted with a mixture of ether and acetone. The quantitative content of vitamin
C (ascorbic acid) was determined by iodometric method. The quantitative content of tannins was determined
by a permanganat-metric method. To confirm the presence of the iron, aluminum, calcium ions in
samples harvested in the industrial area was determined by the ash content.
