Abstract. Coal industry wastes are large-scale sources of negative impacts on the environment. Rock waste contains considerable amounts of heavy metals that are harmful for living organisms. Therefore, control of contamination rate of environmental objects in areas of spoil heaps is absolutely necessary today.

Peculiarities of the rock waste impact on soil and plant contamination with heavy metals were analyzed.  A sampling scheme was created for studying heavy metal migration from spoil heaps. Peculiarities of heavy metal distribution in soils at various distances from the spoil heaps were explored. Distribution and accumulation of heavy metals of the I and II hazard class in soils and wild herbs were studied. Coefficients of biological accumulation and peculiarities of mobile forms of heavy metals absorbed by annual and perennial plants were determined.

Keywords: coal waste, heavy metals, soil, plants.
