Abstract The elemental content of some soils of continental Chile and the Antarctic Peninsula are reported. The elements: Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb were analyzed. Trace elements differed among soils. The values for Cd are greater than those reported elsewhere. The organic matter content was observed to have a great importance in the Antarctic Peninsula soils. Differences between local element contents and the mean concentrations values for the terrestrial crust were found. In order to get a better determination of the origin of the aerosol the enrichment factor, used as a criterion to establish the origin of the trace elements in the atmospheric aerosols, should be recalculated based on the local soil.
