Abstract

Anthropogenic pollution of urban ecosystems with heavy metals poses a serious threat to both nature and human health. Since the soil is the foundation of agricultural production and an integral part of the human life cycle, monitoring its condition is extremely important. The study analyzed the concentrations of lead, mercury, and the determination of humus in the soils of a number of cities in Central Kazakhstan for 2025-2026. The presented data can become the basis for systematic monitoring of land and the development of strategies to reduce pollution. This research has been funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant No. AP25796771)
