Abstrakt: Heavy metals are potential poisons to human life and the environment. Their toxicity depends on their chemical form in the soil. Heavy metals have received special attention around the world as a result of their toxic effects even at very low concentrations. Our study aimed to determine the concentration of Pb, Cr, Cd, Ni, and Cu metals on the earth's surface by the atomic absorption spectroscopy method in the Jegunovce industrial zone in the city of Tetovo, Republic of North Macedonia. From the obtained results, analyzing four points around the Jugohrom factory, the concentration of our metals presented in the average are: lead concentration (30.52 mg/kg), nickel concentration (28.69 mg/kg), copper concentration (49.99 mg/kg), chromium concentration (17.04 mg/kg) and cadmium concentration (3.12 mg/kg). From the measurements that we have made, we can conclude that in the area around the Jugohrom factory, the pollution of these heavy metals was almost negligible, where only the chromium metal was with a concentration of about 0.19 mg/kg higher than the amount allowed in the soil.
