In this paper are given chemical data of the soil composition in Elbasan city. The
distribution of heavy metals that are presented above the allowed norm cause soil
pollution, were obtained by analyzing soil samples that as geographical location
includes the industrial area of the Elbasan city.
The purpose of this paper is to provide the link between chemical soil pollution
caused by the productive activity of heavy industries and the impact of these
pollutants on agricultural crops. To achieve this goal, we have taken soil samples,
during April – June 2020. It should be noted that the area of Elbasan, especially in
recent years has been the epicenter of air pollution, both chemical and
microbiological nature, a fact that is dedicated to the heavy industries that have
been operating in this city for a long time.
Based on the analysis of the obtained results we consist of a considerable level of
chemical pollution of the soil mainly for the element Chromium (Cr) which is
above the standard values set by the EU Regulation.
