Geochemistry and spatial distribution of selected heavy metals in surface soil of Sohag, Egypt: a multivariate statistical and GIS approach
Abstract In this study, selected heavy metals were estimated in surface soil samples of Sohag, Egypt, with the aim to characterize their accumulation patterns. Median concentrations of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn were 0.89, 39, 162, 74, 72,000, 1434, 72, 25 and 164 lgg-1, respectively. The higher average concentrations of these HMs compared with corresponding ... Read more
