ENERGY DISPERSIVE X-RAY FLUORESCENT ANALYSIS OF SOIL IN THE VICINITY OF INDUSTRIAL AREAS AND HEAVY METAL POLLUTION ASSESSMENT
Abstract
The soil of two agricultural sites near an industrial area was investigated for heavy metal pollution using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF). The concentration values for 17 elements were determined in the soil samples including eight heavy metal elements, i.e., Fe, Ni, As, Pb, Mn, Cr, Cu, and Zn. The soil near a pulp and paper mill was found to be highly polluted by the heavy metals. The concentration data obtained by EDXRF were further examined by calculating the pollution index and Nemerow integrated pollution index.
