Studies of the influence of hydrocarbon rocket fuel kerosene T-1 on the physical and geochemical properties were carried out in laboratory circumstances on different types of soils: brown semi-desert soil designated as zone (U-25) located in Central Kazakhstan, mountainous brown desert soil zone (U-30) located in East Kazakhstan, and a model soil standard (control soil). The soil was treated with various concentrations (0.002–150.0 g/kg) of hydrocarbon rocket fuel kerosene T-1, while the contact time was 3, 10, and 30 days. Pollution with kerosene T-1 in concentrations 5.0–15.0 g/kg affects the hydraulic characteristics of soils from the U-25 zone, and the filtration rate decreases by 4–5 times. For the mountainous brown desert soil from the U-30 zone, the concentration of kerosene up to 15.0 g/kg does not affect the mechanical composition of the soil, as well as the availability of the main nutrients (potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen). According to the mechanical composition, both soils belong to medium loamy soils. It has been established that when soil is contaminated from the U-25 zone in concentrations 15.0–150.0 g/kg, the fraction from 1.0 to 0.05 mm increases by 4–5%, and the silty and clay fractions in the soil decrease.
