Abstract
The article highlights the investigation of the relationships between measured quantities during the atmospheric geochemical survey of contaminated soil and the environmental burden of the industrial establishment in eastern Slovakia. Statistical data processing was undertaken from the measured values of pollutants. The basic statistical characteristics of the monitored indicators were defined here. With the help of regressive and correlative analysis, dependency was confirmed between examined values, further expressed by a mathematical relationship. We analysed variability of the measured variables due to the influence of changed input quantities by the non-parametric Wilcox test. The statistical data processing helps us to identify the dependency between the measured values and improves valorization of the pollution of a given environmental burden. This was due to the handling of organic pollutants and the production of basic organic and inorganic chemicals stated for other industries. Chemical analysis of soil air helps us to determine the extent and amount of soil contamination by pollutants. Individual pollutants have their own characteristic properties and their negative effects on biota, the environment and humans are different.
Highlights
Soil pollution caused by human activity can pose a serious risk to human health, the environment, groundwater and soil
The presence and movement of these substances can be detected by using a technique called a soil vapor survey (SVS), which is based on soil air analysis
We analysed all indicators in pair, whereas we detected statistically significant positive and negative correlations
Summary
Soil pollution caused by human activity can pose a serious risk to human health, the environment, groundwater and soil. Diagnosis of ecosystem damage at an early stage is an important task in terms of preventive measures against toxic impacts [1,2]. Gaseous compounds found in the porous environment of soils and rock formations are referred to as soil air. The presence of organic compounds in the gaseous phase may point to pollution beneath the surface environment. The presence and movement of these substances can be detected by using a technique called a soil vapor survey (SVS), which is based on soil air analysis. According to the method of SVE of soil contaminated with benzene, an extraction device was designed that can play a role in improving remediation efficiency and saving remediation costs [3]
