Analysis of Soil Samples for its Physico-Chemical Parameters from Aurangabad City

The natural environment is clean, but due to multifarious activities of man, it gets polluted resulting in what is called environmental pollution. In the present study it was preferred to investigate the soil samples for its physico-chemical analysis of some parameters. Fifteen representative samples were obtained and analysed for its alkalinity content, chloride, sulphate, pH, conductivity, sodium and potassium. The value of alkalinity was found to be from 2.2 to 64.0 meq/100 gm, chloride content was ranging from 1.23 to 1.98 g/100g, sulphate was found to be between 0.063 to 0.742 g , conductivity was ranging from 0.4 to 1.9 micro mohs, range of sodium was between 150.6 to 25.4 ppm and potassium from 100.9 to 190.5 ppm.
