In this work an attempt has been made to determine the quality of atmospheric air and soil polluted by different emission sources (i.e. motorways, railways, coal fuel combustion in house furnaces, long-term range emission from Třinec, Czechoslovakia) in Wisła. The 180 air samples and 60 soil samples were collected in different zones in Wisła. In Wisła there are two linear emission sources: a motorway (average street traffic volume 324 vehicles/h) and a railway, which is in the centre of Wisła. Some parameters which characterise atmospheric air and soil quality were calculated. Investigation of the heavy metal content in air and soil was carried out in a residual area (coal fuel combustion) and in a "clean" area near Wisła (only long-term emissions from Czechoslovakia). The possible hazardous effects on the town's population are discussed.
