Chemometric Evaluation of the Heavy Metal Contents in Surface Soils from the Dilovası Region (Kocaeli/Turkey)
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.
