Water quality assessment and source apportionment of Huangpu River water pollution in Shanghai City, eastern China using APCS-MLR
Author(s): Yueya Chang*
As a result of increasing anthropogenic disturbance, the degradation of the surface water environment has become a key concern for water resource management. Controlling possible pollution sources is necessary for protecting water resources. In this paper, water quality data from online monitoring national control stations were analyzed in terms of pH, Water Temperature (WT), Electrical Conductivity (EC), turbidity (NTU), dissolved oxygen (DO), and concentrations of permanganate index (CODMn), ammonium nitrogen (NH3 + –N), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP). Principal component analysis/factor analysis (PCA/FA) was employed to qualitatively figure out the potential sources of river water pollution of Huangpu River in Shanghai City, eastern China. An absolute principal component score-multiple linear regression (APCS-MLR) receptor model was used to analyze each source&.. View More»
