LEVEL OF MINERAL ELEMENTS IN SOIL AND PLANT ROOTS OF THE ADJACENT AREA OF BARAPUKURIA COAL MINE (Pages : 10 - 13)

M.M.M. HOQUE, D.R. ROY, M.A.S. SHANTA AND S. ROY

This study was carried out to estimate the level of mineral elements in the soil and plant roots of the nearby area of Barapukuria coal mine project area. For this purpose, soil samples were collected from storage ditch (ST), coal water contaminated (CWC) field and non-contaminated (NC) field. Root samples were also collected from CWC and NC fields. Soil and plant samples were analyzed to determine the level of pH, organic carbon (OC), P, K, S, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, and Mn contents. The pH of the soil samples ranged from 5.57-7.8. The highest OC content was found in ST soil (12.37%) followed by CWC soil (5.39%) and NC soil (1.88%).The concentrations of P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, and Mn were found to be highest in CWC soil. The contents of these elements were also found to be highest in plant roots grown in CWC fields in comparison to NC field soils showing a tendency of transformation of these elements from contaminated soil to plants.
