The aim of the research was preliminary monitoring of selected heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Ni, Pb Zn) concentrations in pine needles (Pinus sylvestris L.). Three research areas were selected for the study (Świeradów Zdrój, Świnoujście, Byszyno), from which a total of 14 aggregate samples were collected. Heavy metals concentrations in Scots pine needles samples from one research area were similar. This may indicate the bioindication abilities of Scots pine. Concentrations of individual heavy metals, from three different research areas, showed quite large differences. Statistical significant differences (Tukey›s test p≤0.05) of concentrations of selected heavy metals in samples of pine needles were noted only on the Świeradów Zdrój area.
