Abstract
Nature mainly consists of air, water and soil. In balancing of any three causes major problems in natural process. Soil provides all the basic needs to us and is the most important medium for growing plants. Soil is one of the most important Ecological factor, which is transformed from the surface rocks and plants depend on it for their nutrition, water supply and mineral supply. It also causes the pollution in soil as well as in water and air where leather industries are situated. It has been observed that constant fall of leather waste on soil causes pollution. Chemical analysis of soil in the industrial area of leather has been studied and it was observed that as the distance from factory increases, the effect of soil pollution decreases, considerably for PH, Nitrogen. Phosphorus and Potassium content. The fertility of soil is mainly because of N.P.K. contents, which is hardened by salt (Na+,K+,Mg2+) deposits on the soil surface, and not availability of these prime elements to the agriculture. The loss of agriculture is great hazard to the mankind for generations together.
Key Words :Chromium, pH, Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium, Salts,.
