N2  - Leachate is the liquid that drained through the solid waste and produce the hazardous liquid. Besides, the wastewater from all these industries can contain a lot of heavy metals, oil, organic chemical and acids. All the pollutants can affect the human health and environment quality. In addition, these pollutant also can affect the quality of groundwater and agricultural crops. There are 12 samples were examined in order to know the concentration of heavy metal that came from Kuantan Jabor-Jerangau integrated landfill and car workshop near Gambang by using the atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Heavy metals that have been tested were Cu, Cd, Zn and Pb. The method used to know the level of pollution and contamination in soil due to the heavy metal concentration were geoaccumulation index (𝐼𝑔𝑒𝑜) and pollution load index (PLI). In order to know the factor that affecting the solid solution partition of heavy metal in soil, several test were conducted that are pH, organic matter content, electrical conductivity and sieve analysis. The mean value of pH at landfill area and industrial area are 6.38 and 6.29 respectively. And, for mean value of organic matter in landfill area is 9.039 % and industrial area is 6.396 %. The mean concentrations of heavy metals in the soil samples are in decreasing order as follows: Zn>Pb>Cu>Cd. The car workshop soil characterized by higher mean concentration of Cu, Pb and Zn than the soil at landfill area. 𝐼𝑔𝑒𝑜 result for Zn shows the contamination level in industrial area and landfill area are heavily and moderately contaminated respectively. Plus, PLI for all sampling area are not polluted because the range value is lower than 1
