Abstract

The increase of toxic concentration leads environmental pollution. Soil pollution has become the most important problem of current scenario due to the rapid growth of industries. The pollution level can be measured based on the concentration of heavy metals in soil. This work focus on the level of heavy metal concentration in Soil because of water pollution in Tirupur District, Tamilnadu, India, known for dying activities. The heavy metal concentrations have been investigated using soil samples and remote sensing data (Landsat 8 OLI images) with the relevant soil standards. Spectral mixture modelling approach and regression analysis are applied to the field and remote sensing data to map heavy metal contamination in soil. Finally, the element concentration of remote sensing data was correlated with in-situ data and results are analyzed.
