MODERN ASSESSMENT OF THE ECOLOGICAL STATE OF BISHKEK (on the example of the study of macromycetes in Bishkek)
It is known that the negative impact of heavy metals on a living organism often leads to serious consequences. They are very difficult to get out of the body. Today, an urgent problem is the search for the most effective enterosorbents that can reduce their accumulation in the human body. Natural sorbents with such properties are macromycetes, thanks to the polysaccharide chitin, which has biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity and bactericidal. Chitin is part of the cell walls of fungi and they are able to accumulate heavy metals from the environment. The climatic conditions of Bishkek are very suitable for the growth of different types of mushrooms. The degree of absorption of heavy metals was analyzed in Agaricus campestris. According to the results of the conducted studies, it turned out that the content of heavy metals in the studied territories was higher compared to the control point. This is due to the anthropogenic factor, primarily the large number of vehicles and the lack of sorting of household and industrial waste.
