Analysis Of Physico-Chemical Properties And Heavy Metal Concentration In Soil Sample Collected From Industrial Area Jalna, Maharashtra,India
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate the concentration of some heavy metals in soil sample from industrial area Jalna, Maharastra using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The results obtained for these metals (Fe,Pb, Cr, Zn and Cd) from the sample location indicated that Fe was higher than all other metals. The higher values are indicative of anthropogenic inputs, either due to large usage of metallurgical processes or welding purposes. The results obtained in dry weight were Fe (1866 μg/g), Pb (142.51 μg/g), Cr (50.12 μg/g), Zn (36.85 μg/g) and Cd (0.321 μg/g). The soil pH in water was 8.26 and in CaCl2 was 6.17 and the moisture content was 5.67%. The concentration obtained was generally higher than the tolerable limit for safe environment .The study revealed that soil samples under study showed higher concentrations of various metals which can be attributed to leaching of the top soil and unproductive nature of the soil at the time of sampling, which indicates that there is heavy metal pollution and allowing preventive measures to be taken.
