Abstract :Soils polluted with heavy metals have become common across the globe due to increase in geologic and anthropogenic activities. Heavy metals in the soil refers to some significant heavy metals of biological toxicity, including mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), arsenic (As), etc. With the development of the economy, more specific with the development of industry the presence of heavy metals in the soil caused by this activity have gradually increased in recent years, which have resulted in serious environment deterioration. The aim of this research study which is done in 2007 during the environmental impact assessment was to evaluate the real situation of the soil contamination with heavy metals within the industrial area of the Ferronikeli before restarting of the plant activity.Keywords : soil, heavy metals, contamination
