In the process of interaction of the man with the habitat he is an integral part of the natural environment. To assess the anthropogenic impact upon the environment, living bioindicators are used which have several advantages over chemical methods of environmental assessment. They can respond even to any minor changes and enable to avoid the use of expensive and labor-intensive physical and chemical methods for measuring biological parameters. The assessment of a degree of soil contamination using bioindication, in places of oil products storage and active contamination from motor transport (central city), enables to determine a soil toxicity. Environmental toxicity can be determined by a level of response of the test object used. Reliability of results is confirmed by environmental statistical methods or biometrics. In this study, we obtained data that, taking into account the geographical location of the sampling point, the results demonstrated both a low toxicity of the soil and a stimulating effect of man-made environmental factors upon its state.
