The surface layer was examined of soil, plant and water contaminated with chromium in the vicinity of the tannery waste lagoon situated in the eastern Poland. The area under investigation is located in the direct neighbourhood of the Wieprz River and cultivated fields. The aim of the paper was to determine the chromium levels in the soil and the neighbouring fields, water samples from the Wieprz River as well as in six plant species. The process of migration of chromium in soil samples from the dumping ground was confirmed. The gradient was observed of chromium level in the soil in terms of the distance from the central part of tannery waste in the direction of the Wieprz River. Increased levels of chromium concentration ranging from 2.50 to 6.27 mg kg⁻¹ dry mass were found in the examined plants.
