The level of concentration of heavy metals in the soil negatively affects the quality of the soil. This study examined the quality and ecological condition of the soil in the Zhylyoi district of the Atyrau region associated with the accumulation of heavy metals, which is of great practical importance for monitoring the condition of soils and assessing the degree of their pollution. All studies to assess the ecological condition of the soil were carried out near deposits located in the study area. The results of the study make it possible to reliably determine the rate and degree of soil pollution. When conducting observations, generally accepted techniques and methods were used. The soils of the study area are represented by sandy, sandy loam and light loamy varieties. In general, the soil quality in the study area is good, and the average concentration of all heavy metal elements does not exceed the permissible MPC level. From the results of the study, it follows that the influence of oil fields in the Zhylyoi district of the Atyrau region on the ecological state of soils has not been identified. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor heavy metals in soils from oil-producing areas to prevent associated environmental and health risks, which is the main objective of this review.
