We conducted a complex ecotoxicological investigation of the content of heavy metals in urban soils of the Yamal region. A comparative analysis of metal concentrations in soils of selected cities and municipalities (Salekhard, Gaz-Sale, Nadym, Urengoy and Novy Urengoy) showed that Salekhard city soils stand out among the studied soils by heavy metal content; the maximum metal concentrations in most functional zones were recorded here. The content of metals generally does not exceed the standards of total content of heavy metals according to the current legislation.
