/Determination of soil adsorption of explosives using the multilinear model to evaluate the environmental impact assessment in mined areas

Abstract

The environmental modelling is an important tool to identify the fate of pollutants, especially if they are toxic or dangerous to human health. As the explosives: are both toxic and dangerous; in Colombia they have founded in many places as mines and the environmental impact of explosives to soil/water has not been determined yet; in this research we decided to use the Multilinear Model to determine the adsorption of six explosives and with this information evaluate the environmental impact in contaminated places. The results indicated that the prediction of the Multilinear Model are very close to the experimental data because the RSME in all experiments were less than 1
