Source identification and risk analysis of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in rainwater runoff from a manganese mine (south central Hunan, China)

Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in manganese ore areas are prevalent in rainwater runoff and pose a major threat to human health. In this study, field investigation and geostatistical analysis methods of positive matrix factorization (PMF) and geographic information systems (GIS) were used to syst...
