Abstract: 

Industrial ejection on an environment causes many problems, those ejections finally entered into soil and causes environmental pollution. Contamination of soil by heavy metals is one of the largest issues faced all over the globe and needs extensive attention as their occurrence above normal range is highly harmful to both plant as well as living things. Hence, it is useful to carry such study, so that heavy metals in soil can be determined with special focus on MIDC regions of Satpur, Ambad and Sinner in and around Nashik, MH, India. Soil samples were collected before and at monsoon season. Total Forty different soil samples were collected from theseregion respectively. The samples were analyzed for heavy metals-were Cadmium, Chromium, Cobalt, Iron, Lead and Zinc. The samples were analyzed by using Atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS). Results showed that concentration of Cr, Fe, Pb ,Co and Zn in soil was found above the beyond desirable limits given by WHO. Therefore necessary action must be taken by the responsible authorities to control the pollution due to heavy metals and protect the plants and animals in around these regions.
