The contens of less abundant heavy metals such as thallium, uranium and thorium was examined in different soil samples of the northern part of Kosovo and Metohija. In this work the concentrations of Th, U, Tl in soil samples were determined by the ICP-MS metod. Range of concentrations of those determined toxic elements were: tallium (Tl) 0,96-23,86 mg/kg, thorium (Th) 8,25-18,89 mg/kg and uranium (U) 0,74-2,68 mg/kg. The samples were recorded on ICP – MS (ICP-MS, iCAP Qc, Thermo Scientific, UK) instruments. Elemental anal ysis of soils could provide information about the state of the pollution. Contam ination of soils in the province of Kosovo and Metohija is caused mainly by an thropogenic activities (numerous mines, pollution as a result of post-war effects, ethnic war 1999) and geological composition of the soil.
