“…This research is being conducted in the district of Tiruvannamalai, which spans an area of 6188 km 2 and is located at 11.55 • and 13.15 • North Latitude and 78.20 • and 79.50 • East Longitude (Figure 1). Soil samples were collected using the grid method in the Tiruvannamalai district of Tamilnadu (10) . The district's land cover is depicted in the Figure 2 as square grids (10.85 km x 10.85 km) using QGIS -open source mapping software.…”

“…The district's land cover is depicted in the Figure 2 as square grids (10.85 km x 10.85 km) using QGIS -open source mapping software. Each grid was assigned a location (W1-W63 as mentioned in Figure 2) based on the availability and approachability of the sampling site (10) . The samples were collected from the grid node points of the square grid.…”

Objective: This study used magnetic susceptibility measurements and statistical methods to investigate soil pollution. Method: Using the grid approach, soil samples were collected in and around Tiruvannamalai district, Tamil Nādu. Standard procedures were used to determine the physicochemical parameters of soil samples such as the percentages of sand, silt and clay, EC and pH. A dual frequency susceptibility meter was used to assess the magnetic susceptibility of the soil samples collected at low-frequency (χlf) and high-frequency (χhf). Multivariate statistical analysis such as factor analysis (FA), Pearson correlation (PC), and cluster analysis (CA) were conducted to determine the influence of Physicochemical parameters on magnetic susceptibilities and to detect soil contamination from anthropogenic or natural sources. Findings: Significant magnetic enhancement values may be concentrated in the soil, indicating ferrimagnetic minerals in the study area in some locations. Novelty: Contamination sources of pollution using magnetic susceptibility with statistical approach.
