Chemometric Evaluation of the Heavy Metal Contents in Surface Soils from the Dilovası Region (Kocaeli/Turkey)
Journal Title: Cumhuriyet Science journal - Year 2018, Vol 39, Issue 1
Abstract
Chemometric methods were used to assess the contamination of heavy metals (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) and to classify the contents of heavy metals of surface soil samples taken from 10 locations in Dilovasi region. The data were subjected to chemometric assessment to determine the relationship among the heavy metals and to classify the soil samples. The heavy metals were detected using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Analytical data were analyzed using correlation analysis, principle component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) to assess whether there is an association among heavy metals in soil samples. The soil samples were separated into 4 groups by a group very similar to both PCA and CA. PCA and CA techniques have proven to be useful approaches for soil characterization in terms of their heavy metal contents.
