Abstract

The study comprises the sampling of contaminated soil from landfill (dumping ground) and roadside sites as well as the analysis of its heavy metal content. Solid waste management is a significant task for both urban and rural places around the world. The main obstacles to managing it are financial limitations and a lack of societal knowledge of trash management. Nowadays, every city, town and municipalities struggles with how to manage the enormous amounts of solid garbage that are produced. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the soil quality at various roadside locations and open Landfill (dumping grounds). The total of 150 soil samples from six sites were collected from various locations and with top layer and having depths between 15-20 cm. Analysis was carried out for the study of seven heavy metals and the study examines their minimum to maximum values in μg/g from all types of sites are as Pb 5.6-96.3, Fe 1.22-28.65, Zn 11.6- 68.9, Cr 14.6- 154.3, Cu 118.4-268.4, Co 4.22- 69.28, Ni 5.45- 38.3 as pollutants in a soil sample by atomic absorption analysis from Kannad City in the Aurangabad District lies in Marathwada region of Maharashtra. Most of the observed values in the soil samples of dumping sites were above the acceptable ranges.
