Abstract—This article researches the problem of the violation of ecological balance in the ecosystem that is noticed in the last century and caused by the wastes of a huge amount of pollutants from anthropogenic sources. This problem causes much worries of the entire humankind. The given article reveals a problem of weeding soil from heavy metals, in particular from arsenic and mercury. The results of the researches to detect chemical surface of sorbents and their colloid-chemical and absorption-structural, ionic exchange and complex building properties serve to explain the migration of substances and also for rational selection of natural sorbents at the time of their using in different nature protecting technologies. Authors got a new geochemical barrier, consisting of a mixture of the utilized bird's dung, a marble crumb and a peroxide of calciumwith the high absorbent activity. The research results allow to eliminate undesirable influence of heavy metals on plants and to get ecological clear products.

Index Terms—Geochemical barrier, peroxide of calcium, utilized bird's dung, detoxication.
