Abstract	A multi-element geochemical soil survey was performed to assess the geochemical baseline and the environmental impacts of some potentially harmful elements in soils of the Kerman city. In doing so, a total of 175 samples, including residual (5), evaporate (6), silty–clay plain (42), urban (15), archaeological (3), road side (12), runway side (3), rail road side (7), agricultural (34), machinery battery manufacturing station (10), gasoline station (17), machinery paint working station (17) and cemetery (4) soil samples were collected on the 1:50,000 scale map of the Kerman city. The soil samples were analysed by ICP-OES for Ag, As, Bi, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Li, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, Sn, V, W and Zn. The resulting elemental values in non-contaminated residual soils are similar to that of global background soil level (Salimen et al. Geochemical atlas of Europe. Part 1, Background information, methodology and maps. Finland Geological Survey, p 526, 2006; Lindsay Chemical equilibria in soils. Wiley, p 449, 1979). However, the soils close to the gasoline stations are enriched in Pb with variations up to 202 mg/kg. Soils developed around the machinery battery manufacturing stations also give a very high concentration of Pb as high as 60,445 mg/kg. The anomalous contents of Pb in soil samples close to the machinery paint working places range from 0.27 to 692 mg/kg. Some high values of Zn up to 1655 mg/kg are related to the agricultural soils in Pistachio gardens. The results highlight that the most anomalous harmful elements include Pb, Sn, Cd, Cu, Zn, Sb, As and Mo, which is supported by their high enrichment factors.
