In the present work the influence of soil fertilization with sewage sludge on the changes in the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in this soil was studied during a one-year field experiment. The experiment consisted of six plots to which sewage sludge was introduced at doses of 30 (1%), 75 (2.5%), 150 (5%), 300 (10%) and 600 ton/ha (20%) as calculated for dry mass. The PAH content at a depth of 0-20 and 20-40 cm was determined. With time, an increase in the PAH content in the lower soil layer (20-40 cm) and a gradual decrease of the PAH content in the 0-20 cm layer was observed. In most cases, a decrease by half in the PAH content in the soil fertilised with sewage sludge was observed.
