Abstract:Present study was sketched to estimate the level of heavy metals (Cr, Fe, Cu, Zn, As and Pb) in the industrially affected soil, their source apportionment, degree of pollution and estimation of probable health risk by direct soil exposure and via dietary intake of vegetables grown in the affected soil. Mean concentrations of Cr, Fe, Cu, Zn, As and Pb was found 61.27, 27274, 42.36, 9.77, 28.08 and 13.69 and 0.53, 119.59, 9.76, 7.14, 1.34 and 2.69 mg/kg for affected soil and vegetable samples, respectively.
