Abstract

The purpose of the research is financial and legal protection of land from being contaminated with hazardous substances (wastes) as a component of regional environmental policy. Main content. It is known that land contamination by industrial enterprises, through irrational use of agrochemicals and chemical plant protection agents lead to the accumulation of toxins, including heavy metals, pesticides, oil products, radionuclides. Therefore, one of the important factors of improving the legal protection of land, including protection from being contaminated with hazardous substances in Ukraine, consists in taking into account positive experience of those post-Soviet states that have a practical orientation in terms of legislation and achievements in law enforcement activities related to land protection.  Methodology: The methodological basis of the research is presented as comparative-legal and systematic analysis, formal-legal method, interpretation method, hermeneutic method as well as methods of analysis and synthesis. Conclusions. The institution of legal land ownership in the post-Soviet Baltic states (Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia) and Georgia has been disclosed in detail. Justifiably, contamination is dangerous not only for life and health, but also for land resources in general.
