ABSTRACT
|
In
the present study attempt has been made to generate elemental profile
database for major sources of soil pollution, specific to Visakhapatnam.
Representative road dust and soil samples from major industrial
locations were collected and analyzed for various metals distribution
using EDXRF. Analysis results indicate that V and Ni were predominant at
PR and Zn was found to be dominating in road dust samples. Higher
concentration of Arsenic was observed at TPP as compared to all other
sites. Cr was found to be dominating at TPP and SP. Igeo calculations suggest that soil is highly contaminated with heavy metal pollutants. |
