Our paper reports results of a study on the bioavailability of selected elements from sediments deposited by the tsunami event of 26 December 2004 in south Thailand. In January 2005, 15 samples of the sediments deposited by the tsunami were collected at four different localities. The reference sample was collected in an area not affected by the tsunami. In the acid leachable sediments fraction (the bioavailable fraction) the contents of 27 selected elements (Be, Ga, Bi, Rb, Cs, Sn, Mn, Re, Co, Rh, Ru, Mo, V, Nb, Ta, Zr, Sc, Th, Pt, La, Ce, Nd, Eu, Gd, Tb, Ho, Lu) were determined using ICP-MS. The measurements were repeated after one year to establish a potential effect of the rainy season on the content of these elements in this fraction.
