Abstrakt:	The article analyzes the effect of amphetamine precursors and by-products on soil enzymes of two urban soils. Amphetamines, a class of drugs, which stimulate the central nervous system, are known to produce a feeling of euphoria, increased confidence and alertness. The stimulant and hallucinogenic properties of amphetamines and their derivatives have made these compounds popular as recreational drugs worldwide. Chemicals associated with clandestine drugs laboratories, such drugs, their precursors, reagents and by-products, are often disposed of covertly into soil, sewerage systems, or public waste management facilities.
