Studies on heavy metal pollution on soil for Coimbatore India using ANN and kriging modelling techniques

Abstract

Coimbatore the techno city of Tamilnadu India has been swiftly emerging on the facets of Industrialization and urbanization The current scenario of industrialization edifies the phenomenal functioning of 5000 textile industries 1400 electroplating industries 300 dying units and 1000 foundries in Coimbatore On the other facet the exhaustive mushroom growth of Educational Institutions Universities Professional Education Colleges Hi tech Medical care Centres Multi Speciality Hospitals Mechanical and IT industries is witnessed in Coimbatore These above enunciated reasons perhaps boost up the floating population at a faster pace each day These noteworthy transformations of the city scenario of course pose the implied menace of degeneration degradation of the newlinesoil properties of Coimbatore indispensably due to improper waste management system and inadequate drainage system Most of the solid wastes plastics and liquid wastes are discharged directly onto the soil and thrown on the road sides and wetlands These wastes affect the natural water system as well as ground water level This research in fact aspires to curtail this environmental predicament through several studies and analysis newline
