Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) technique and Proton Induced Gamma Ray Emission (PIGE) technique are mainly used for trace elemental analysis of soil, liquid and gaseous samples. Human activities such as mining process, industrial waste, use of fertilizers and pesticides cause soil pollution which has major impact on living organism of earth. Experimental analysis has been done on different soil samples by various authors to check the concentration of different trace elements in soil samples. Review study on trace element analysis on soil samples from Punjab region has been carried out and we obtained some important factors and results by this analysis.
