Agricultural land near to industries, often un-noticed, accumulates lot of harmful chemicals and heavy metals. A study was done to assess the soil quality (chemical and biological) near Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) in Mindi area, for paddy fields (major crop) and corresponding adjacent fallow area with and without exposure to effluents. Soil samples were collected from paddy growing site exposed to effluents (PGSEE), paddy growing site without exposure to effluents (PGSWE), fallow land without exposure to effluents (FWE) and fallow
land exposed to effluents (FEE). Fallow fields with effluents release (FEE) were high in Cu (7.8 mg kg-1), Zn (15.5 mg kg-1), Pb (87.8 mg kg-1) and Cd (1.8 mg kg-1) in comparison to paddy cultivated fields. The chemical and biological soil quality index and relative soil quality index shows that PGSWE is having better chemical soil quality index (CSQI): 14.29, biological soil quality index (BSQI): 2.00 soil health condition than PGSEE (CSQI: 10.20 and BSQI: 0.69).
