Contamination characteristics, source analysis and health risk assessment of heavy metals in the soil in Shi River Basin in China based on high density sampling
To explore the contamination of heavy metals in the Shi River Basin soil in China, a high density sampling of surface soil was conducted. In this study, an absolute principal component scores multiple linear regression model (APCS-MLR) was used to identify the sources of heavy metals in the soil and...
