Soil pollution is a predominant one in urban areas. Nowadays soils in rural areas are also slowly contaminated due to synthetic fertilisers in agricultural practices, industrial development, urbanisation, traffic emission and anthropogenic activities. Heavy metals are severely contaminated the soil. Heavy metals released into the environment either naturally or by anthropogenic activities. Soil quality is mainly based on their physicochemical parameters. It directly correlates with the sustainability of the environment. Urban soils, soils around industrials areas are mainly concentrated by researchers. But soils in rural areas are also slowly polluted by various factors. Soil pollution decrease the quality of the soils and crops. Soil pollution leads to water pollution also. It creates harmful effects in the environment. Soil properties are preferably based on land use and management. We should give severe attention to soil contamination in rural areas.

Soil pollution, rural areas, heavy metals, physicochemical properties.
