Abstract
Spatial structure of Gomel soil contamination with mercury has been st udied. It was revealed that prevalence of mercury contents close to ba ckground values with point and local anomalies is characteristic for s urface horizon of urban soils. The most pronounced anomaly was noted i n the region of urban purification works where increased mercury conce ntrations were observed not only in soils but in bottom deposits and g round waters.
