Environmental Risk Assessment of Metals in Groundwater in an Area of Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, China by Minghao Tian, Shihan Xue, Fujiang Hui, Weiyuan Cao, Ping Zhang

“…The highest average concentration was for Zn (38.08 μg/L), indicating that metal concentrations in the groundwater were relatively low. (2) The Pn for the seven metals was below 0.7, indicating that the study area was at a non-polluted level. (3) The correlation and principal component analyses of the metals indicate that the sources of these metals may be residues from material stored in the raw material warehouse of the former iron smelting plant at the site. …”
