Strontium isotopic signatures and source apportionment in urban soils of Salgótarján: unraveling the impact of industrial emissions

Abstract Urban soil contamination is primarily associated with human activities, especially industrial by-products, which have introduced high concentrations of heavy metal(loid)s from diverse sources over centuries of city development. This study investigated the distribution of...

Influence of soil physicochemical properties on the distribution and variability of 137Cs activity concentrations in urban soils of Ózd, Hungary

Abstract Urban soils exhibit substantial heterogeneity in their physicochemical properties influencing the sequestration of 137 Cs. This study investigates the distribution of 137 Cs in urban soils from Ózd, Hungary, and its relationship with soil properties using multivariate st...
