Abstract
Soil pollution is the contamination of soil with harmful substances that can adversely affect the quality of the soil and the health of those living on it. Pollution can be the result of an accident or carelessness, or done on purpose through illegal dumping. Leachate pollution should get appropriate attention as it may be a source of heavy and toxic metal in soil and it is possible to percolate and may lead to water pollution in the surroundings water sources. In the present investigation the soil samples were collected from the identified area for pH, conductivity and heavy metal analysis. The pH, conductivity and heavy metal pollution of the soil samples resulted that, concentration of certain heavy metals is above permissible limit. The heavy metals like Cr, Cd, Fe, Mn, and Pb, shows highest concentration, while metals such as Cu, Cd and Pb shows low concentration. The heavy metal pollution indicates that leachate produced by uncontrolled and unscientific disposal of industrial solid wastes contaminates soil samples of the identified area. The effects of soil pollution reach across the spectrum from water and air to vegetation, and to human health and society as well. While the specific effects depend on the pollutant, in general they include further environmental contamination as the polluted soil washes into water or is kicked up into the air, and poisoning, such as from lead-tainted soil. The Environmental Protection Agency notes that children can end up accidentally ingesting polluted soil as they play in it.
