The study of heavy metals in soils garden plots of Magnitogorsk was found to increase their content in comparison with conventional control soils, located outside the anthropogenic impact. In addition, the soil of all sites investigated exceed the standards for cadmium. The level of contamination of the soil was characterized as follows: for cadmium – increased for copper and lead – the average for zinc, nickel, and manganese – is weak. Under the conditions of anthropogenic pollution of soils is the accumulation of cadmium in sugar beet and carrot, which is confi rmed by studies of crop production. There is a correlation between the content of mobile forms of cadmium in soil and sugar beet (R = 0,73). Vegetable crops: potatoes, beetroot, carrots are not the dining room storage of heavy metals. Necessary measures aimed at reducing the impact on the studied soil.
