DESCRIPTION:In recent years and decades\, since the pioneering works of Tho
 mpson and Oldfield in seventies\, magnetic measurements have been used at 
 different scales to identify and outline approximately the extent of envir
 onmental pollution. These studies have been dealing with atmospheric parti
 cles directly\, as well as river and lake sediments and soils. In many cas
 es\, significant correlation was found with concentrations of several heav
 y metals. Moreover\, some few recent studies discuss the potential of magn
 etic properties to be linked with organic pollutants. The whole research o
 f magnetometry in pollution is based on simple assumption of coexistence o
 f magnetic particles and pollutants\, mainly heavy metals. This coexistenc
 e is given by the same source (industrial unit)\, the same pathways of tra
 nsport and deposition. It seems that this coexistence plays the most impor
 tant role\, although magnetic particles can serve also as carriers of the 
 heavy metals\, either adsorbed on their surface\, or incorporated into the
 ir structure. For example\, fly ash of a coal-burning power plant can cont
 ain up to 10% of magnetic particles\, some authors refer as much as 18%. T
 hese particles\, upon their deposition on soils\, are accumulated in upper
 most few centimetres of topsoil and can be easily detected by surface soil
  magnetic measurements\, assuming that other contributions (lithogenic\, p
 edogenic) to magnetic enhancement are negligible or can be eliminated. In 
 this talk\, a review of the recent results of these studies will be provid
 ed\, presenting studies carried out mainly in central Europe\, and dealing
  with different aspects of this research. Moreover\, limits of the applica
 tion of the method will be discussed.
