NGS8HMC

This is a subset from the US National Geochemical Survey database (NGS), which contains 74,408 samples of 53(+286) attributes sampled over the period from (1979) 2003 to 2008. We focus on the following eight heavy metals: "As", "Cd", "Cr", "Cu", "Ni", "Zn", "As2", "Hg", "Pb". Please consider obtaining the original data directly from the NGS homepage.
