A study was carried out to determine the fertility and possible pollution of soils used for vegetable and fruit production in the Novi Sad municipality (Serbia, Serbia&Montenegro). The soils were found to be under strong anthropogenic influence. The basic chemical properties of the topsoil in the Novi Sad gardens was determined to be significantly disrupted with respect to available phosphorus content as a result of excessive mineral fertilizer use. The levels of trace elements and heavy metals was not found to be such as to render the soils in and around Novi Sad unsuitable for the production of safe food. Levels of pesticide residues and pesticide metabolites were below the maximum tolerable concentration (MTC). The PAH content was similar to that of other urban environments, indicating that the fires at the Novi Sad refinery had an effect on PAH concentration in the soil.
