Abstract: The paper analyzes the data of the studies carried out on the effect of sulfuric acid and lead compounds, as the main components of storage batteries, on various layers and functions of the soil. In the course of the study, soil contamination with heavy metals, violation of acid-base balance and physical and mechanical properties were analyzed. The maximum concentration of sulfate ions was revealed at the time of the battery electrolyte spill. The dynamics of changes in the concentration of sulfate ions in the soil layer during a time interval of five years, the results of determining the pH of salt suspension and hydrolytic acidity in the upper horizon of steppe chernozems are presented. The dynamics of the decrease in the humus content in the soil layer after the spill of battery electrolyte waste and the relationship between pollution by salts of heavy metals and battery electrolyte with soil fertility and crop productivity are analyzed.

Keywords: waste, soil degradation, lead-acid batteries, sulfuric acid electrolyte, humus, soil acidity, heavy metals.
