The paper deals with the state of knowledge of man-made strata and geopollution in Lithuania. On the basis of inventories, urban engineering geological and geochemical mapping, the following indicators were estimated: the area (percentage) of man-made-strata in urban areas, the volume of man-made strata per 1 km2 of the total territory, the number of potential contamination sources of the geological environment, the volume of geochemically contaminated (historical contamination) soil in urban areas. Man-made strata are specific techno-geological formations with multiple and various environmental aspects, which must be better understood and managed.
Keywords: man-made strata, geochemical contamination, engineering geological mapping, landslides
