Raw and analytical data of soil analyses in the Tatra Mountains (Poland)

This dataset contains raw and analytical data from studies conducted in Technosols at historical mining and metallurgical sites in the Tatra Mountains (Poland). The dataset includes: Mineral composition: raw data of XRD analysis (folder with RAW and EVA files). Fine-earth (<2 mm) sample bulk mineral composition was determined using the powder X-ray diffraction method (XRD). The Bruker AXS D5005 diffractometer equipped with the KRISTALLOFLEX® 760 X-ray generator, vertical goniometer, 1 mm divergence slit, 2 mm anti-scatter slit and 0.6 detector slit and a graphite diffracted-beam monochromator was used. CoKα radiation was applied with the voltage of 40 kV and 30 mA current. Random mounts of the ground materials were scanned from 3 to 70 °2θ at a counting time of 1 s per 0.02° step on a rotating stage. Chemical properties: raw and analytical data of the contents of major elements, trace elements and lanthanides in soil samples using ICP-MS method (xlsx file). Analyses were carried out in the Bureau Veritas Minerals Laboratories (BVML), Canada. SEM analyses: scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of soil samples (TIF files), EDS spectra (energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, PNG files), and elemental distribution maps generated from SEM-EDS analyses (PNG files). The data are organized into structured files (xlsx, RAW, EVA, TIF and PNG) to ensure reproducibility and ease of use. This dataset supports the study's findings and provides a resource for further research on Technosols.
