Abstract

A study was carried out on the impact of Chemical Fertilizer Industrial waste on the quality of soil in the vicinity. The Fertilizer Industry located at Jijaipur District Guna (M.P.) India, produce liquid ammonia and urea. All the solid waste generated are disposed off at dumpsites (Surrounding Fertilizer Plant). Teh effluent sludge and Soil sample were analysized for physio-chemical parameters viz pH values, Phosphrous, Sodium, Chromium, bulkdensity, porosity, water-holding capacity, electric conductivity, organic matter and Cation exchange capacity of soil using standard methods. The results revealed that the dumpsite sludge sample recorded very high concentration of Potassium and Calcium. The effluent samples from the outside showed lower value of Potassium and Calcium. The Soil environment around the dumpsite was the most affected the highest mean value of potash and phosphorous respectively.
