Abstract:The degradation of sediments in urban environments worldwide is driven by population growth, urbanization, and industrialization, highlighting the need for thorough quality assessment and management strategies. As a result of these anthropogenic activities, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and styrene (BTEXS) are persistently released into the environment, polluting sediment. This study employed self-organizing maps (SOMs), positive matrix factorization (PMF), and Monte Carlo simulation of source-orien… Show more
