This study shows data about main parameters of soil fertility and total content of some harmful elements in three districts in Eastern Serbia. In most of the surface soil samples content of harmful elements does not exceed maximal allowed concentration (MAC). There are elevated concentrations of Ni and Cr in samples for fluvisol of Velika Morava valley, and in leptosol of Deli Jovan mountain, composed mainly from ultramafic and mafic rocks. Higher Hg content is in soils formed on carbonated substrates, in arenosol of Ramsko-Golubacka sand pit and fluvisol of the river Pek. The highest Zn content is in soil with pH interval from 6.0 to 6.5. Observed differences are statistically proven by nonparametric inferential analysis of trace elements per districts, pH and types of soils.
