The paper presents the results of the research of changes in the granulometric composition of monofractional sandy soil in interaction with petroleum products. Quartz sand represented by coarse, medium, fine and pulverised fractions was used as the investigated samples. The petroleum products used were A95 petrol, diesel and heavy oil. The change of the granulometric composition of sandy soils at interaction with oil products caused by the processes of aggregation and dispersion of mineral particles has been experimentally confirmed. it has been established that the occurrence and intensity of these processes are contingent upon the type of petroleum product and the specific fraction of sandy soil.
