Summary:Abstract The presented work aimed at analysis of elements in the soil and cementitious materials from the selected locations to study the presence of various microorganisms on the surface of buildings. The methodology of the sampling was focused on the interface of the construction containing cement and the soil around the construction in foundation. The chemical analysis by performing X-ray fluorescence analysis confirmed leaching of the element cations of the clinkers. During the carrying out the investigation of the soil, the results additionally showed exceeded limited values of some of the metals elements in the soil which is considered as an environment burden. Moreover, in this research some of the cultivated microorganisms swabbed from the surfaces of the buildings from 14 selected locations are mentioned. These outputs gradually generate the image of the environmental conditions for cementitious materials of selected location in Košice.
