The main goal of the study is to assess the physical and chemical properties of the snow cover, the level of dust pollution of the snow cover and the ground layer of the atmosphere in the technogenic source of pollution of the urban environment – the zone of influence of the solid waste landfill in the city of Shymkent. The study sampled snow and measured the thickness of its cover in areas with undisturbed snow cover and, based on its results, came to the conclusion that the snow cover in the city and its environs is characterized by an increased content of carbon monoxide, nitrate ions, chlorides, which is a consequence of technogenic influence pollution sources. The results of the study of soil samples of soddy-podzolic soil showed: a clear relationship was established, and it was revealed that porous soils with a high content of fractions <0.005 mm have both a large total perimeter and pore area.
