Abstract

Industrial activities lead to deterioration of soil by physically, chemically and biologically. Determination of physico-chemical properties in soil provides information relating to pollution levels. In the present study an attempt has been made to study the physic-chemical properties of soil collected from industrial area of Mysore city, Karnataka. The soil samples were collected from three different sites of Mysore industrial area during different periods of the year. The collected samples have been analyzed to determine their physic-chemical characteristics. The soil samples showed that, pH 6.2-7.921, EC ranges from 74 ìs/cm to 96ìs/cm, Lime content ranges from 1.2mg/kg to 7.91mg/kg, and Sodium shows a range of 1.6ppm to 9.9ppm.
