dc.description.abstract	Heavy metal pollution is now a days; one of the most serious environmental issues on a world scale and also in Bangladesh. A study was carried out to determine the status of heavy metals in non-polluted and polluted soils and vegetables from intensively growing areas of Gazipur district. Sixty soil samples and sixty vegetable samples were collected from Gazipur district. Total amount of heavy metals like Pb, Cd, Ni,Co,Cr, and Mn in soils and vegetables were determined. The soils were also analyzed for texture, pH and organic matter. Data were analyzed by SPSS software. It was found that the levels of heavy metals in soils varied from location to location. The mean concentrations of Pb, Cd, Ni, Co, Cr, and Mn in non-polluted soils were5.16, 0.89, 15.14, 12.84, 21.95, 12.59μg g -1 , respectively and in polluted soils7.33, 2.41, 27.36, 22.64, 31.32, 17.83 μg g -1 , respectively. The heavy metal concentrations in nonpolluted soils were within the limit allowed for maximum acceptable concentration -1 -1 -1 -1 -1	en_US
