Results of atomic emission and absorption spectroscopic analyses for more than 20 elements in samples of waste water, soil and plant (Eichhornia crassipis) collected from places adjacent to the drainage pipeline terminal of Kaha Chemical Factory are discussed. The samples were collected in such a sequence so that they represent an artificially man-made biogeochemical cycle. The result of analyses figures out the appearance of conspicuously high anomalous concentrations for most of the elements under investigation in both soil and plant samples. This presumably indicates the presence of these elements mostly in the form of weakly of mobile compounds which are readily under the new prevailing physico-chemical conditions of the drainage canal-either deposited on soil or absorbed gradually by plants growing in the vicinity of the pipe-line terminal.
