Abstract

About 20 topsoil samples collected from different locations of Gazipur industrial area were analyzed to specify the elements by XRF. Soil pH, moisture content, organic carbon, organic matter, elements were investigated by following proper procedure to find out the actual scenario of the soil status. Most soil samples pH is tend to neutral which is most favorable for up taking nutrients. Moisture Content, Organic Carbon and Organic Matter are enriched in the soil for plant growth. Speciation analysis are showing concentration trend as Al>Fe>K>Mg>Ca>Rb>Mn>Si>P. Most of the elements are used as fertilizer for soil nutrient supplement and also used as raw material in process industries. Though they are required for improving soil quality excess amount is also harmful for soil biota. Soil chemical reaction with the surroundingis largely controlled by the components present in soil matrix. Multivariate statistical analysis e.g: hierarchical cluster analysis showing 2 main clusters in the soil matrix which components are similar in characteristics or source.Group 1 and 2 formed by following different factors like common sources, attraction of the elements, similarity in characteristics. Correlation matrix is exhibiting significant positive relationship among the components. Different components have distinct positive relation with distinct components which differ from each other. Principal component analysis denotes 3 principal components for composing soil matrix significantly.
