Soil samples were collected from 3 areas with diversified use and from layers of different depth (0-200 cm) as well as samples of plants growing in these areas. The content of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) in soils and plants was detd. by GC/ECD method. The PCB accumulation in soils and plants was mainly caused by PCB 28 (3 CI atoms) and PCB 52 (4 CI atoms) congeners. Low chlorinated PCBs moved deep into the soil profile to the depth of about 40 cm. A statistically significant relationship was found between PCB content in the tested plants and their content in soils.
