Analysis of deposit environment (i.e. soil, water and sediment) pollution of Bolshoi Troparevskiy pryd, Moscow with heavy metals and other elements has been carried out. The chemistry studies were performed by mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Calculations of coefficients of variation and concentration of metals in the test environments, which can indicate uneven distribution of metals, have been made. Metals with exceeded background concentrations and border values have been determined.
