The effects of soil pollution with coal ash on the number and enzymatic activity of soil microorganisms were investigated. Soil samples were treated with three different rates of ash and two rates of nitrogen fertilization. Coal fly ash pollution resulted in increase of soil fungi and cellulolytic microorganisms and the simultaneous decrease of Azotobacter spp. Coal ash enhances the urease activity in the soil whereas phosphatases activity remaines unaffected. The nitrogen level determines the yield of the studied plants but not presence of coal ash
