Agricultural land surrounding industrial areas is at high risk of heavy metal contamination, which impacts soil health and the environment. Lakardowo Village, Mojokerto Regency, is one of the areas affected by hazardous waste (B3) management activities by PT. PRIA. This study aimed to identify the concentrations of Chromium (Cr) and Nickel (Ni) in paddy soils around the industrial site. Soil samples were collected from nine points at varying distances from the pollution source and analyzed in the laboratory using the wet digestion method. The results showed that all samples contained Ni exceeding the threshold, with the highest concentration found at T2, while Cr exceeded the threshold at several points with the highest concentration found at T3. These findings indicate a high level of soil contamination by heavy metals. Regular monitoring and remediation efforts are necessary to maintain the agricultural environmental quality in the area.
