Abstract
Soils in most part of the world are contaminated by anthropogenic activity such as mining, industrial activities. Hence, geochemical monitoring of such soils are necessary for both pre-monsoon and post-monsoon. Bolani and Barbil are well known for mining and industrial activities. Soil samples of both pre-monsoon and post-monsoon were collected from these localities for geochemical assessment with this purpose. Finer fractions (<74 mm) of soils were taken for metal analysis in Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Discriminant analysis on normalized major and trace element data was carried out. Discriminant analysis reveal that the soils of pre-monsoon and post-monsoon are different indicating more contamination in post-monsoon.
