Surface water pollution with nutrient components, trace metals and metalloidsin agricultural and mining-affected river catchments: A case study for three tributaries of the Maritsa River, Southern Bulgaria

This work analyses changes in the content of nutrient components and trace metals and metalloids at three tributaries of the Maritsa River flowing in Southern Bulgaria with catchments affected by mining and agricultural activities. Input data includes information about 14 chemical water quality para...
