In the present work, the physicochemical analysis and microbiological properties of soil in an industrial area of latur is carried out. The soil samples were collected from industrial area of latur. The parameters of soil analysis were pH, Alkalinity, Sulphate content, total solids, Organic matter and Microbial activity. The result of pH analysis revealed that the two samples from industrial area had noticeable pH variation from that of control. The alkalinity of the polluted samples was lesser than that of control. Sulphate content and total solids were high in polluted samples compared to control. Microbial activity is very low in acidic polluted samples, where in control it was very high. Due to the presence of heavy metals the total solid content of polluted soil was high. Due to the acidity of the polluted soils the organic matter and microbial activity were less.
