The article defines the concentrations of heavy metals in large rivers of the Bastak Reserve in June 2022. The data is obtained via Atomic Absorption Spectrometer for 8 heavy metals (Zn, Cd, Co, Pb, Ni, Cu, Fe, Mn). Fe concentration for sampled rivers (Bastak 0,377 mg/l,Bolshoy Sorennak 0,316, Glinyanka 1,343, Mitrofanovka 1,05) indicates that two of 5 rivers exceed Fe MPC (0,1 g/l) more than 10 times, all rivers exceed Fe MPC at some extend. Mn concentrations 2,2 and 2,8 times higher than in summer of 2021 for Bolshoy Sorennak and Bastak respectively. Small amounts of Co found only in Mitrofanovka and Glinyanka 0,00115 and 0,0003 respectively. Cu and Zn concentrations peak there too (1,5 times more than in highland ones for Zn, 2 times for Cu). There is no Pb, Ni and Cd in any sample.
