Abstract
The features of the modern state of soil in Cheremkhovo city (Irkutsk Region) and adjacent territories are demonstrated. The high level of soil pollution with heavy metals was revealed. The results of sanitary microbiological analysis provide evidence of soil pollution with communal and household organic substances and allow evaluating the state of soil as close to epidemically dangerous one.
