Abstract
The obtained data are part of a soil monitoring study in the Leninskii district of Moscow. Significant variations in heavy metal concentrati on were found in the soils along the motor highways. Concentration of lead, copper, and zinc was 2-3 times higher, and concentration of cadm ium was two times higher than the background values. Statistically mea ningful changes in heavy metal concentration in lawn soils of Moscow c an be expected within the next 15 years.
