One of the main difficulties in the transformation of farmers to organic farming system is considerable costs over a
long transition period and the lack of relevant information about the suitability of soils on ecological and toxicological
characteristics. This is especially important for areas where the border is closely to agricultural and industrial
production. Purpose: to assess the suitability of the soils on the territory of distribution zones of air-technogenic
emissions of chemical industry for organic farming. With kriging method (statistical version of interpolation) there are
develop map-schemes of land suitability for organic farming in accordance with applicable regulations of trace
elements and heavy metals. Results: There are determined areas of excessive, optimal and insufficient content of
available forms of trace elements and heavy metals in soil and their accumulation in crop production in the zone of
atmospheric emissions of Avdeevka coke-chemical plant. It is shown the similarity of the accumulation of pollutants in
soils and plants to the source of emission, indicating the patterns of distribution of emission components, depending
on the direction of prevailing winds and terrain. Conclusions: we proved the priority of control for crop production to
determine the extent of contamination of agro-ecosystems. Air emissions of chemical industry have led to the
excessive accumulation of heavy metals in soils and plants, which indicates the unsuitability of such areas for organic
farming.
