The aim of the present study was to determine relationships between the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and results from biotests (Phytotoxkit F, Ostracodtoxkit F). The experimental soils were collected from: Silesia, Lublin, Biala Podlaska and Sokolniki. The PAH content ranged widely from 363 to 27883 mcg/kg. Only in the case of L. sativum significant statistical relationships were noted between root lengths after 3 days of incubation and PAH content, and between root length of S. alba and the content of 5-and 6-ring PAHs after 6 days of incubation
