STATISTICAL EVALUATION OF HONEY BEES AND SOIL SAMPLES HEAVY METAL CONTENTS DATA
Abstract
The aim of the study is to correlate spectrophotometrical analysis data of soil and bees honey samples statistically evaluated in order to predict the heavy metals pollution level of a geographical area only based on the analysis of bee’s products (bees honey and pollen). The natural concentrations of some metals in soil vary from a region to another depending on the rocks nature and composition as well as on the contribution generated by human activities like: combustions, minerals treatment, gas additives, cigarette smoke, and other industrial activities. Important quantities of heavy metals are discharged in the atmosphere and in the continental and oceanic waters from where it is getting at tissue level. The statistical evaluation of data is able to provide information about the geographical areas heavy metals pollution.Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:
