2.1 Study Area and Sampling

The study area comprises of STP located (Fig. 1) in Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, Sathyamangalam (Lat 11.4952°N and Long 77.2764°E), Tamil Nadu, India with 7.5 MLD installed capacity, spread around 2654 m2 area. The STP is highly loaded with potential contaminants. In addition to this, occasionally excess sewage sludge (overflow) after pumping into sludge drying bed is dumping into the empty land around 4 m distance from the plant area. This leads to massive availability of nutrients in the site area. So sampling sites were randomly chosen and listed in ellipsis (Table 1). From the each site (0–15) cm depth, soil samples were taken for analysis. Recycled sludge from STP periodically assessed for physico-chemical characteristics.
