Background: In this paper, study about the agricultural Land suitability at the Jajmau area in Kanpur Uttar Pradesh to find out the chemical pollution in soil due to industrial waste. The tanning industry in the Jajmau had been established since 1940, now the impact of such industries on the Landis a severe threat to human life.
Methods: The soil sample for three different seasons gets collected and stored, After wards with the help of leaching process and ICP- MS test, to find out the traces of heavy metals present in an agricultural field near the banks of Ganga River, namely Jajmau area.
Result: It is find that the traces of different elements of Soil samples for pre-monsoon are in parts per million (ppm) As 25-55 ppm, For monsoon season soil sample, the traces of elements like As 25-42 ppm Similarly, for the post-monsoon soil sample, the traces of elements are such as As 67-109 ppm. Toxic elements like Fe, Mg and as are the elements, Having exceeded value is very at most of the sample. It can hurt an ecosystem like human health, Environmental condition, aquatic life and life food cycle.
