Monitoring Techniques for Inorganic and Organic Pollutants in Soils Around an Integrated Iron and Steel Plant
Keywords:
XRF, GC-ECD, GC-MS, organic and inorganic pollutants, soil pollution
Abstract
In this paper the analytical techniques of X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Gas Chromatography with Electron Capture Detection (GC-ECD) and coupled with Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) are used in order to assess the level of industrial and agricultural pollution of soils. The soil samples were collected from Galati County, near an industrial plant and near cultivated areas. In this study, it is investigated the way in which the anthropic activities influence the quality of the environment, due to the contribution of inorganic and organic elements enrichments.
