Enzymatic activity of the soil enables recognition of unfavourable changes in soil and may be indicative of degradation processes. Soils in neighbourhood of 3 different industrial plants localized in south-east of Poland were the objects of the investigation: Screw Factory in Lancut, Glasswork in Krosno and Nitrogen Factory in Pulawy. The samples of soils were collected at three distances from the source of contamination: 200 m, 400 m and 600 m. Intensity of enzymatic processes corresponded with ecological state of soils. Soil in neighbourhood of Screw Factory (Lancut) characterized the highest activity of examined enzymes, while the soil nearby Nitrogen Factory (Pulawy) showed strong depression of enzymatic activity
