ABSTRACT. The features of the content of arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead, zinc, cobalt, nickel, copper, chrome and manganese in natural and polluted soils are considered. It is shown that the concentration and distribution of trace elements in soils depend on their properties, conditions of soil formation, climate, vegetation and economic activity of the man. Due to the strengthening of technogenic load of the ecosystem there is a need for carrying out regular monitoring of trace elements (heavy metals) content in the soils and the implementation of actions for the improvement of ecological condition of lands.

KEYWORDS: soil, trace elements, ecosystem, pollution, monitoring.
