A healthy soil is crucial for food security, but human activities, particularly industrialization, are degrading the soil's quality. This study aims to assess and compare the Soil Quality Index (SQI) at three industrial sites: the iron and steel industry, the open cast coal mining industry, and the brick kiln industry, along with a control field. To measure the SQI, the weighted additive method was applied to the nine selected physico-chemical properties of soil: soil temperature, soil moisture, Bulk Density, pH, N, P, K, OC, and EC. Principal Component Analysis coupled with multiple correlation methods was used to determine the Minimum Data Set. The most dominant factors near the iron and steel industrial site are soil temperature, N, K, and EC, while N, OC, soil moisture, P, K, and EC are the most significant factors near the open cast coal mine. In the case of the brick kiln industrial site, soil moisture, OC, K, soil temperature, and P have the highest loadings. The calculated SQI indicates that the quality of soil is in better condition in the control field (0.6475), while the soil adjacent to the coal mining industrial site (0.1426) is in the worst state, followed by the iron and steel industrial site (0.1611) and the brick kiln industrial site (0.289). To attain sustainable agricultural practices in industrial landscapes, efficient management of nutrient contents and phytoremediation can be helpful.
