ABSTRACT
North Gujarat is a high energy-importing region with around 17 Industrial Development areas. In various edible oil refineries of this area some of the edible oil is lost and is disposed of in the soil as a waste which creates pollution of soil. The main objective of this paper is to present an analysis of soil which is contaminated with edible oil .The description in the paper is thus summarized on various parameters of edible oil contaminated soil. This pollution may disturb food chain and affect the normal flora of the soil.
Keywords: Industrialization, crude oil, waste, Environmental pollution.
INTRODUCTION:
Rapid industrialization for sustaining economic stability, is leading to the pollution of the environment. There are around 17 Industrial Development areas in and around North Gujarat region. All these Industrial Development areas are concerned with the production of various economically important compounds such as Cereals, Oil Seeds, Isabgul, Castor, Cotton and Pulses. They are the main annual crops grown as well as like other parts of India and Gujarat, economy of North Gujarat region largely depends upon agriculture. Industrialization and urbanization are responsible for the Air, Soil and Water pollution. There are various edible oil industries also located in Industrial Development area and involved production of edible oil. The crude or unrefined oils extracted from oilseeds generally consists of free fatty acids (FFA), mono-, di-, and triacylglycerides (MAGs,DAGs, and TAGs), phosphatides, pigments, sterols, tocopherols, glycerol, hydrocarbons, vitamins, proteins fragments, trace amounts of metals,
