The object and purpose of the paper is to study the ecological state of the soils along the main highways of the Nizami district of Baku. The An analysis is performed of some chemical indicators of the soil and the biological activity of the soil, which together determine their environmental parameters and provide an assessment of the ecological state along the city’s central highways. For ecobiological assessment of isolated soil samples, the content of heavy metals and humus, the activity of urease and catalase, and the pH value are investigated. By studying the soil cover adjacent to the main highways, a low humus content and significant weakening of the soil enzymes are found in the soil. The paper concludes with the measures that would reduce and prevent soil contamination along highways.
