This research has been done in the North Jakarta to analyze in soil physical properties as indicators of environmental pollution using geophysical methods based on electricity and combined by chemical analysis. All samples of soil taken from two different sites. The first site is along Jalan Yos Sudarso, and the second site is along the banks of Kali Sunter. The length of each site is one kilometer, with spacing point of soil samples as far as 100 meters. Each samples tested in laboratory to observe a value of Total Dissolved Solid or TDS, Electrical Conductivity or EC, and acidity, by assumed normal condition weather. The results of laboratory tests showed an average value of TDS 118 ppm, EC amounted to 236 microsiemens and acidity is shown to alkaline, which means that the area has been polluted environment. Increasing TDS value is followed by increasing EC value and the graph shows a linear relationship between both of them. Environmental pollution is predicted caused by the contribution of vehicle exhaust fumes and industrial pollution. Pollution pattern tends to increase toward to the north approaching traffic line, harbor and industry. Scanning Electron Microscopy or SEM result showed the predominance of grain shape changes increasingly rounded and the trend of increasing concentration of C, PB and Fe and towards the north.
