Summary: The contamination levels of soil, feed, game, fish and other products of plant or animal origin by selected chemical elements were studied within the high-risk locality, along with their trends within 1991–2003. The evaluation results of 11 872 analyses suggested improving situation of the food chain contamination, with the exception of soil contamination by mercury. To address the prevailing problems, the region will remain a tightly monitored locality, the control and monitoring data will serve as the starting point for risk management.
