Assessment of Present Heavy Metals in Industrial Affected Soil Area of Mandideep, Madhya Pradesh, India

The Mandideep city is a rapidly growing city in Madhya Pradesh state, India. In recent days industrialization ihas been growing at a faster rate than any other activities. Due to industrialization, the heavy metals pollution load for soil, water and air is increasing day by day. To find out the heavy metals pollution from the industries which they have adopted for their production purposes we carried out the research work by dissolving the extracted soil samples. The samples were ground and subsequently digested with 10 ml di-acid mixture in the ratio (9:4), 9ml HNO3 and 4ml HClO4 was added into the sample and heated on a hot plate in a fume hood. In the present study it was revealed that the heavy metals concentration is at the nearby maximum level. The results show that Copper (Cu) level ranges from 3.8mg/kg to 15.6mg/kg, Chromium(Cr) occurs in the range of 6.6mg/kg to 256.0mg/kg, Cadmium (Cd) was found in the range of 2.3 mg/kg to 13.4 mg/kg, Lead (Pb) in the range of 3.6 mg/kg to 29.99 mg/kg, Iron(Fe) varies from 85mg/kg to 470mg//kg whereas Nickel (Ni) was found in a range of 4.8mg/kg to 26.31mg/kg, and Zinc (Zn) found in range of 44mg/kg to 139 mg/kg.
