Statistical Methods and Models for Pollutant Control in Municipal Surface Waters

This paper aims to systematize a series of statistical methods of analysis and control and proposes some forecast models for surface water pollution both in and near a large city. The monitoring data of heavy metals, nitrites, and phosphates collected for three years are processed using different st...

description This paper aims to systematize a series of statistical methods of analysis and control and proposes some forecast models for surface water pollution both in and near a large city. The monitoring data of heavy metals, nitrites, and phosphates collected for three years are processed using different statistical tools. It is demonstrated that they are under statistical control, and appropriate mathematical models are formulated to allow for forecasting and understanding of the causes of the appearance and perpetuation of certain phenomena. A comparative analysis is made, and the generalization of some methods is considered as an analysis and control tool.
