Toxic metals in agricultural soils near the industrial areas of Bangladesh: ecological and human health risk assessment (2019, background): “It was shown in the above figure that the contamination of PLI was low but with the increasing number of industries in the industrial areas may cause progressive deterioration of soils and PLI value will be increased (Bhuiyan et al. 2010).”
Assessment of heavy metal contamination in sediments of the Tigris River (Turkey) using pollution indices and multivariate statistical techniques. (2011, methodology): “In this study, iron (Fe) was used as the reference element for geochemical normalization because of the following reasons: (1) Fe is associated with fine solid surfaces; (2) its geochemistry is similar to that of many trace metals and (3) its natural concentration tends to be uniform [22].”
