This study is aimed to determine the heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, Co, and Ni) concentration in soil due to cement dust deposition around Birla cement plant, Satna M.P. The soil samples were collected at different distance from Cement factory and also from a control site, an area of 10 km away from cement factory and were analyzed by using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy Technique. The result shows that the highest concentration of Lead (Pb) (42.76 mg/kg), cadmium (Cd) (2.74 mg/kg), chromium (Cr) (43.78 mg/kg), cobalt (Co) (1.683 mg/kg) and nickel (Ni) (3.56 mg/kg) were obtain near the vicinity of cement plant while the concentration of these heavy metals decrease with the increase of distance from cement plant and not detected or obtained in very trace amount at control site.
