Abstract

Within this study a total content of 20 elements was determined in 24 soil samples taken from the vicinity of
the "Zletovo" mine, Republic of Macedonia, covering an area of 24.5 km2. However, in this paper we present four
elements significant from anthropogenic point of view. In that manner, in soils of the “Zletovo” mine area Fe values ranged 19.3-76.9 g kg-1 with 24 above the optimum (18 g kg-1) and 1 above action value (72 g kg-1), Mn values ranged 643-28000 mg kg-1 with 24 above optimum (33 mg kg-1) as well as 24 over the action value (330 mg kg-1), Pb with range of 42.3-529.66 mg kg-1 with 23 over optimal (85 mg kg-1) and none above action value (530 mg kg-1), and Zn with range 138-3240 mg kg-1 with 23 over optimal (140 mg kg-1) and 14 above action value (720 mg kg-1).
