Assessment of Soil Heavy Metal Pollution with Principal Component Analysis and Geoaccumulation Index

open access: yesProcedia Environmental Sciences, 2011
AbstractThe assessment of pollution levels of heavy metals soil contamination is significant to human health and environmental management. The purpose of this article is to apply two methods, which are Principal component analysis (PCA) and Geoaccumulation index (Igeo), to assess heavy metals contamination levels in the area around copper mine tailing,

An assessment of metal pollution in surface sediments of Seyhan dam by using enrichment factor, geoaccumulation index and statistical analyses

open access: yesEnvironmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2008
The aim of this study was to determine if high concentrations of any heavy metals exist in the sediment of Seyhan Dam reservoir to be considered toxic to the aquatic environment. Surface sediment samples from five stations in the Seyhan dam were collected quarterly from 2004 to 2005 and examined for metal content (Cr, Zn Cu, Mn, Cd, Fe, Ca, K, and Na),

Evaluation of the elemental pollution status of Jamaican surface sediments using enrichment factor, geoaccumulation index, ecological risk and potential ecological risk index

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020
Surficial marine sediments were sampled along the south-east coast and in Discover Bay Jamaica. Total elemental composition was determined for the sediments using three techniques. Total mass fractions of Al, As, Br, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Eu, Fe, La, Mn, Sb, Sc, Th, U, V, and Zn were determined using instrumental neutron activation analysis; Cu, Ni, Pb, Sr ...

Assessment of Heavy Metal Pollution of Urban Roadside Soil with Set Pair Analysis and Geoaccumulation Index

Advanced Materials Research, 2010
The assessment of pollution levels of heavy metals soil contamination is significant to the health of human kind. Two methods, Set Pair Analysis (SPA) and Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo), are applied to assess the urban roadside soil heavy metals pollution levels and compare the assessment results with Fuzzy Comprehensive Analysis (FCA).

Index of geoaccumulation and spatial distribution of potentially toxic elements in the Serra Pelada gold mine

Journal of Soils and Sediments, 2019
The concentration and spatial distribution of many potentially toxic elements (PTEs) have not been studied in the mining areas of tropical soils in the Amazon. The objective of this study was to evaluate the concentrations and spatial distribution of Al, Bi, Fe, Li, Sn, Sr, Te, Ti, and V in an area influenced by artisanal gold (Au) mining and chemical ...

An Assessment of Heavy-Metal Contamination in Soils within Auto-Mechanic Workshops Using Enrichment and Contamination Factors with Geoaccumulation Indexes

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Protection, 2014
Soil characterization and heavy metals in different layers (0 - 15 cm; 15 - 30 cm and 30 - 45 cm depth) of automobile mechanic waste dumps were studied. The soils showed remarkably high levels of all the metals above background concentrations with most (Ni, Cu, Fe, Cr and Cd) decreasing with soil depth.
