The microelement composition of snowfall (meltwater) of the mountain peaks of Marmarosh, Montenegrin, Svidovets, Kuziy-Tribushan (Kuziy) and Ugol-Shirokoluzhan reserve massifs of the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve  (СBR) for 2018-2019 was determined (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry method — ICP-MS.  The excess of the content (relative to the background by 4-8 times) of chemical elements in the snow of the mountain peaks of the protected massifs was established: Chornogora, Peremichka tract — Zn, As; Ugol-Shirokoluzhan, Vidnoga mountain — Hg, Bi, Cr and Plesha mountain — Ag;  Kuziy-Tribushan, the mountain valley of Stara — Zn, Cr and Mount Stog — Ag; Marmarosh, Mount Petros Marmarosh — Hg, As, Cd and Pop Ivan — As, Cd, Hg, Pb. The activity and emissions of stationary pollution sources (industrial enterpris- es) are analyzed and it is established that the snow cover of the mountain peaks of the Marmarosh massif is most polluted — Hg, As, Cd, Pb. Considering the proximity of the massif to the Romanian border and the prevailing north and north-east direction of the winds, a conclusion is drawn about the possible transboundary pollution of snow of the Marmarosh massif. Keywords: microelement composition of snow, mountain peaks, Carpathian Biosphere Reserve, stationary sources of pollution.
