Chemometric Assessment of Soil Pollution and Pollution Source Apportionment for an Industrially Impacted Region around a Non-Ferrous Metal Smelter in Bulgaria

Chemometric Assessment of Soil Pollution and Pollution Source Apportionment for an Industrially Impacted Region around a Non-Ferrous Metal Smelter in Bulgaria

The present study deals with the assessment of pollution caused by a large industrial facility using multivariate statistical methods. The primary goal is to classify specific pollution sources and to apportion their involvement in the formation of the total concentration of the chemical parameters...
