Abstract: Pilot study on soil contamination degree around the Maritza East thermal power plants, evaluated through applying magnetic methods, is presented. The magnetometry method is based on the well-established fact that anthropogenically contaminated with fly ashes soils display enhanced magnetic susceptibility, as well as other specific magnetic characteristics. Results from the magnetic investigations carried out in our study evidence significant soil contamination near the pollution sources and decreasing degree of anthropogenic load further away. The method applied is economically more efficient compared to classical physical and chemical methods for evaluation of soil contamination.
