An extensive soil survey was conducted in different areas of Bhopal to study the current conditions of heavy metals contamination in soils. Soil samples and associated street dusts were collected from within the industrial area of Govindpura and Mandideep, Bhopal. The total concentrations of heavy metals, pH value of soil, conductivity, moisture content and major elements in the samples were determined. The results of minerals and heavy metal concentrations obtained are also compared with ICAR, IARI manual. http://pubs.sciepub.com/jephh/10/1/1/jephh-10-1-1.pdf heavy metal contamination industrial areas Govindpura and Mandideep
