| Abstract | Principal components analysis (PCA) and correlation analysis were used to estimate the contributionf four components related to pollutant sourcesn the total variationn concentrationsf Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, As, Se, Hg, Fe and Mnn surface soil samples from a valleyn east China with numerous copper and zinc smelters. Resultsndicate that when carryingut sourcedentificationfnorganic pollutants their tendency to migraten soils may resultnifferences between the pollutant compositionf the source and the receptor soil, potentially leading to errorsn the characterizationf pollutants using multivariate statistics. The stability and potential migrationr movementf pollutantsn soils must therefore be takennto account. Soil physicochemical properties mayffer additional usefulnformation. Twoifferent mechanisms have been hypothesized for correlations between soil heavy metal concentrations and soilrganic matter content and these may be helpfulnnterpreting the statistical analysis. |
