Concentrations of Heavy Metals in Soil near Mining Tailings Dump in Graçanica, Kosovo

# Dataset Title: Concentrations of Heavy Metals in Soil near Mining Tailings Dump in Graçanica, Kosovo ## Authors:- Dr. rer. nat. Flurije Sheremeti Kabashi- MSc. Argjend Hajra ## Description:This dataset contains measurements of heavy metal concentrations in surface soil samples collected from the area near a mining tailings dump in Graçanica, Kosovo. The purpose of this dataset is to assess the potential contamination and spatial distribution of various heavy metals in the affected region. ## Number of Samples:6 surface soil samples (labeled S1 to S6) ## Location:Mining Tailings Dump, Graçanica, Kosovo Coordinates are given in the **KosovaRef** coordinate reference system. ## Parameters Measured:Each soil sample includes the following measured parameters (in mg/kg unless otherwise stated):- Mn - Manganese- Pb - Lead- As - Arsenic- Cd - Cadmium- Cr - Chromium- Cu - Copper- Fe - Iron- V - Vanadium- Zn - Zinc- Sb - Antimony- Ti - Titanium- pH - Soil pH (unitless) ## Data Format:The dataset is provided in Excel (.xlsx) format. Each row represents one soil sample and includes sample ID, coordinates (x, y), and concentrations of each element. ## License:Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) ## Suggested Citation:Sheremeti Kabashi, F., & Hajra, A.
