Abstract

Due to rapid urbanization and scarcity of land, most of the urban parks and recreational areas in Bhopal are built close to major roads or industrial areas, where they are subject to many potential pollution sources, including vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions. 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.
