The distribution of arsenic in the region of Katowice is described. In the sedimentation velocity of arsenic different related from distance of distribution in rainy period and sun period. For the given direction wind the surface load of suspended dust were investigated. The concentration of arsenic in air and in fallout changed in relation to wind velocity and inversion layer height.
