Relevance. The need to study the ecological state of the soil cover of industrial cities, which is the main depositing environment for technogenic emissions of heavy metals and metalloids, to identify the geochemical characteristics of the region and assess the impact on public health. Aim. To assess the sources and accumulation of heavy metals and metalloids in soils and their fraction PM10 in Severobaikalsk and to assess the risks associated with them for public health. Methods. Total content of Zn, As, Cd, Pb, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Sb, Mo, V, W, Sr, Bi in soil, coal and ash samples was determined by mass spectral and atomic emission methods with inductive-coupled plasma. Geochemical (KK, Kc, Zc), sanitary and hygienic (Ko) indicators were used. Health risks for adults and children were assessed. Principal component analysis was used. Results. In Severobaikalsk, the priority soil pollutants are Sb, Cu, Pb, Mo, Cr. The soils and their PM10 fraction in the transport zone, where Sb, Cu, Pb, Co, V, W, Ni are accumulated, are the most polluted. The greatest influence on the chemical composition of urban soils and PM10 particles is exerted by emissions from railway infrastructure and coal combustion at the Central Thermal Power Plant (22% for soils in general and 48% for the PM10 fraction). The average total level of contamination of urban soils and PM10 fraction corresponds to a low, non-hazardous level (Zc=6). The total non-carcinogenic risk of soil particles contaminated with heavy metals and metalloids. entering the body of children, exceeded the safe level 1 (from 1.60 in a residential one-story zone to 1.81 in a transport zone). For the adult population, HI values were below the acceptable threshold value. For adult health, there is no carcinogenic risk associated with ingestion or skin contact of As, Cr and Pb. For children, a dangerous risk (ILCRingest 5.56*10–4) of ingestion of carcinogenic heavy metals and metalloids was identified.
