Asymptotic giant branch stars play an important role in enriching galaxies by s-process elements. Recent studies have shown that their role in producing s-process elements in the Galactic disc was underestimated and should be reconsidered. Based on high-resolution spectra we have determined abundances of neutron-capture elements in a sample of 310 stars located in the field and open clusters and investigated elemental enrichment patterns according to their age and mean galactocentric distances.
