Spatial variability of heavy metal concentration in urban pavement joints – A case study

Dataset: heavy_metal_pollution_indice_data.xslx
Dataset description:
Concertation of trace metals (Al, Fe) and heavy metals (V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Sn, As, Cd, Pb) given in mg/kg soil dry weight and calculated pollution indices (Igeo: Geoaccumulation Index; PLI: Pollution load index; RI: Potential ecological risk index). For methods of analyses and index calculation see method chapter in above mentioned publication
