This paper is an effort to be carried out to investigate the large amount of waste products generated fromindustries producing sugar, Chocolates, spirit, paper ,etc.,in Nellikuppam town located at Cuddalore District .Thesoil samples were collected from in and around the Nellikuppam town and analyzed the physical parameters of thesoil such as, electrical conductivity and the chemical parameters such as pH, macro nutrients (Available Nitrogen,Phosphorus, Potassium) & micronutrients (Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Iron).These macro and micro nutrients areanalysed by Atomic Absorption Spectrometer(AAS).The results were obtained and compared with the standardvalues of critical limits available for fertility of Agricultural Purpose. Electrical conductivity ,pH and amount ofcopper present in all the soil sample were within the critical limits. Slight abnormal changes were observed inchemical parameter like Available Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Zinc, , Manganese, Iron due to the presence ofsome impurity in soil .
