title: [The use of ground mollusks in the evaluation of environmental pollution with heavy metals in the city of Ufa].
abstract: The authors analyzed soil and cochleae of bush snails in Ufa for heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd) content. Zn and Cu content of the soil exceeds the background levels and approaches the MACs. Pb and Cd content corresponds to their usual content of soil. The coefficients of Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd pass from soil to cochleae of bush snails increase in the row Pb < Zn < Cu < Cd and never outnumber 1.
