The aim of the research is to investigate the geochemical features of rare-earth elements distribution in the snow cover of the territory occupied by the wastes of the Dzhidinskiy tungsten-molybdenum combine. Materials and methods. The microelement composition was determined in the Laboratory of Water Microbiology of the Limnological Institute of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Irkutsk) using an Agilent 7500 ce quadrupole mass spectrometer by the inductively coupled plasma method. The macrocomponent composition of snow water was determined in the laboratory of hydrogeology and geoecology of the Geological Institute of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Ulan-Ude) by the standard methodology. The work is based on actual material collected during the implementation of projects of the N. L. Dobretsov Geological Institute, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ulan-Ude, for the period 2021-2022. Results and discussion. The research of the area of the Dzhidinsky mining and processing plant in the town of Zakamensk in the Republic of Buryatia revealed high concentrations of toxic elements in the snow cover, which are dangerous to the health of the population of Zakamensk, as well as anomalous concentrations of some rare-earth elements. It was found that the elevated concentrations of most lanthanides directly depend on the elevated concentrations of sulphate-ion in the study area. Conclusion. It has been revealed that the Barun-Naryn tailings dump has accumulated a large amount of fi ne fraction of weathering products, on which all rare-earth elements are intensively sorbed, over a long period of storage. Sulphate complex compounds of rare-earth elements are characterized by high migration capacity in the form of aerosols.
