Trace metals in soils in the West Bristol (Avonmouth) area

Concentrations of trace metals in soils from a grid of sites located around a disused (since 2003) smelting works in the Avonmouth, UK, area. The soil samples were collected on 4th and 5th October 2007 and were analysed for concentrations of Aluminium and Iron, using inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICPOES), and Chromium, Copper, Zinc, Nickel, Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury and Lead, using inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS). The dataset also includes information on soil pH and soil organic matter content (loss on ignition).本数据集包含英国埃文茅斯（Avonmouth）地区一座2003年起停用的冶炼厂周边网格布设采样点的土壤痕量金属（trace metals）浓度数据。土壤样品采集于2007年10月4日与5日，其中铝、铁的浓度采用电感耦合等离子体光发射光谱法（inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, ICPOES）测定；铬、铜、锌、镍、砷、镉、汞及铅的浓度则采用电感耦合等离子体质谱法（inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry, ICPMS）测定。此外，本数据集还涵盖土壤pH值与土壤有机质含量（烧失量）的相关信息。
