Hazardous wastes are man made activities, and adversely impacts human life and environment. The adverse impacts caused due to the indiscriminate disposal of hazardous wates (HWs). A number of potentially hazardous chemicals are now produced as finished products or by products.More than six million known chemicals, used in different Indian industries. Management of hazardous wastes has become a major concern in India as haphazard dumping of hazardous wastes results in severe environmental impairment. The adverse effect of hazardous as well as the significance potential risks posed by them to the life and its supporting system are increasingly recognized. Rapid growth of industries in India has resulted in generation of increasing volume of hazardous wates. However only, a few secured landfill sites are available in the country for disposal
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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
