Abstract
The presence of mineral elements, Heavy metal concentrations in the Red Soil (Theri Soil) sample played a vital role for EC variation. The analytical study of elements like Silicon, Aluminum, Carbon, Iron, Thorium and Uranium etc. present in the Red soil carried out by SEM-EDAX-SAIF, IIT Chennai. Analysis of the Red soil sample by using AAS observed from CPR Environmental Education Centre, Chennai. The spectral assignment of (FTIR) peaks determined the presence of N-H stretching, C=C stretching, Si-O-Si group and C-Cl stretching etc. The existence of functional groups, mineral elements and Heavy metals in the Red soil sample may enhance EC variation. The EC measurements observed using EC meter. (ModelR1503).
