We present non-LTE abundances of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, magnesium, aluminum, silicon and sulfur, derived for a sample of 70 O9-B2 main sequence stars of the Galactic disk and analyze the distribution of the chemical abundances in terms of radial gradients within 4.4-12.9 kpc from the center of the Galaxy. The derived gradients are flatter than those presented by the most recent studies about the radial gradients of stellar abundances.
