The present study was aimed in assessing the heavy metal pollution of the soils around Kajaran Town, Armenia and related environmental risks. The investigations showed that the soils around the mining complex near Kajaran Town were highly polluted with heavy metals (Mo, Cu, Pb, As, Zn, Ni) and this was conditioned by Zangezur copper and molybdenum combine activity. Such heavy metal pollution degree in the soils may pose risks to agricultural production and the health of population especially children in this territory.
