Abstract
Heavy metal contamination of soil is a humourless cause of concern because heavy metals get accumulated in plants, thus affecting humans and animals. In northern India heavy metal adulteration of soil can pose major health risks. Therefore, a spatial study was conducted by collecting different soil samples to analyse the variation in contents of two heavy metals viz. Lead (Pb), selenium (se) in different soil samples. For various parameters analysis and substantial metals investigation of soil from two different areas of roadside and agriculture , soil samples have been collected from these areas from Himachal Pradesh and Punjab. Soil samples were analysed by physio – chemical analysis of Pb and Se. Study of these samples reveals the presence of less or high percentage of these metals in soil that it’s lead to error in soil quality. Analysed the pH of soil samples of various places from pH analysis soil mostly found in acidic medium. Such a soil has a very bad effect on ecosystem and human health.
