and  tomato  leaves  and  fruits  collected  from  Jaggaiahpet  industrial  area.  When  compared  with  tomato  leaves  and  fruits,  soil 
samples have and significantly higher concentration of heavy metals. Particularly, higher values than safe limits were found  for 
Pb, Cd, Mn and  Cr and Cd in soil. In an attempt to understand the pattern of  metal contamination  in the area, useful tools 
including Enrichment Factor were also employed to indicate the  sources of soil contamination were anthropogenic in character.
This is an indication that the soil was pollution to the tomato leaves and fruits. The highest concentrations were found to lead
