A Comparison of Physicochemical Investigations on Surface Soils from Gold Mine, Processing Site and Nearby Paddy Field Moe Tin Khaing This study revealed a comparison of physicochemical properties of soil from a well known gold deposit and its neighbouring area. The aim of this research is to provide anthropogenic background concentration of surface soils from Sinkgu Township, Mandalay Region, Myanmar. Multi-increment soil sampling technique was applied for getting representative sample of each site. To compare surface soil qualities, physical and chemical parameters, texture, available NPK, exchangeable cations and heavy metal concentrations were detected. Soil nutrient levels are low in gold mine and processing sites but cadmium(Cd), lead(Pb), zinc(Zn), chromium(Cr), iron(Fe) heavy metals were observed as higher amounts than nearby agricultural land. Although agricultural soil gave better response for fertility qualifications than gold production sites, it informed that contained considerable high amount of arsenic(As) and mercury(Hg).The resulting data will contribute to local people the hazard of toxic pollutant heavy metals and indicate the needed soil fertilities for the agriculture 2015 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000000474 https://meral.edu.mm/records/474
