3D interpolation of soil PAHs distribution in a coking contaminated site of China

Contaminated sites are an environmental issue of concern all over the world, especially some large-scale industrial contaminated sites, which are key objects for environmental supervision and risk management in many countries. In recent years, following rapid economic development and adjustments of industrial structure, polluting industrial plants were commonly closed or moved out of developing cities, and the quantity and degree of contamination of the remaining industrial contaminated sites appeared to be rising. This study, based on typical field site data, provides a great contribution to the analysis of pollution spatial distribution characteristics and determination of remediation soil volumes.
