The geochemical soil survey carried out near the Debari Zinc smelter near Udaipur, Rajasthan, as part of a regional geochemical survey, showed anomalous concentrations of Cu, Pb and Zn in the vicinity of the smelter. This anomaly could not be attributed to the country rock, because of rather low concentrations in litho-units. The pollution caused by the zinc smelter is suspected to be its source. Little away to the north, concentration appears to be related to secondary dispersion from bed rock.
