Soil Quality Assessment and Heavy Metal Contamination in Agricultural Soil in and around Toranmal (Triable Region) of Maharashtra

Author(s): N. S. Sonawane, C. P. Sawant, R. V. Patil

This paper ardently deals with vulnerability assessment of Soil Samples in the region of Nandurbar district of Maharashtra state, in india. The soil assessment of the districts is analysed according to the guidelines providing by central pollution control board, New Delhi, APHE, IHP and WHO. Toranmal is hill station in municipal council of Nandurbar district in Indian state of Maharashtra. It is located in the Satpura Range. This paper advocates habitat conservation and ecological studies with special reference to the physico chemical characteristics and heavy metal contamination in soil along triable area. In the present investigation the PH, electrical conductivity, alkalinity and chloranity values recorded were observed, during dry season and low during rainy season. The soil sample were also analysed for their heavy metal contents like Ni, Zn, cd, Cu, Fe, As, and Hg. It was observed that the concentration of heavy metal in this season. These heavy metals have a marked effect on the aquatic flora and fauna which through bio magnification enter the food chain and ultimately affect the human being as well. The present experimental data on heavy metal assessment in soil samples collected in and around Toranmal point out to the need of regular monitoring of water resource and further impartment in the waste water treatment. If the present conditions continue for along period.
