The article presents the results of the study of heavy metal content in the soil in the zone of impact of the processes of mining and processing of polymetallic ores. The data obtained in the process of long-term field studies, as well as obtained by remote sensing of the Earth were analyzed. The spatial and temporal dynamics of distribution of concentration of various elements at different distances from the source of pollution was revealed, taking into account the natural and climatic features of the study area. The obtained data were analyzed using statistical and spatial analysis. Before statistical analysis, the distribution of the data set (concentrations of trace elements in soil) was evaluated by Box-plot, Kolmogorov–Smirnov (p < 0.2) and Shapiro Wilk (p < 0.05) methods.
