Aim of the study:
This paper focuses on the content of Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, As, Sb, and Cd in both water and soil samples collected from the urban district of Pristhina. The concentrations of these heavy metals were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The concentration of trace metals in water was (Cu: 0.029 mg/l, Fe: 0.712 mg/l, Mn: 0.033 mg/l, Ni: 0.039 mg/l, Pb: 0.241 mg/l, Zn: 3.564 mg/l, As: 0.028 mg/l, Sb: 0.049 mg/l, and Cd: 0.089 mg/l). In soil samples, the concentration of metals ranges from (Cu: 4.98 mg/kg, Fe: 2.78 mg/kg, Mn: 2.56 mg/kg, Ni: 2.65 mg/kg, Pb: 4.98 mg/kg, Zn: 5.62 mg/kg, As: 0.028 mg/kg, Sb: 0.041 mg/kg, and Cd: 0.098 mg/kg). The sampling procedure was conducted in August 2022.

Material and methods:
Instrumentation and statistical analyses. Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) was used to measure the concentrations of heavy metals. For each group of analytical samples, a double-blind analysis was performed.

Results and conclusions:
The current study contemplated the examination of soil and water samples collected from four sampling sites close to the wells. To gain a comprehensive understanding, we also studied the presence of heavy metals in the samples.
