Chemometric application in identifying sources of organic contaminants in Langat river basin. Environmental monitoring and assessment, 184, 1001-1014.https://repoemc.ukm.my/handle/123456789/1560Increasing urbanization and changes in land use in Langat river basin lead to adverse impacts on the environment compartment. One of the major challenges is in identifying sources of organic contaminants. This study presented the application of selected chemometric techniques: cluster analysis (CA), discriminant analysis (DA), and principal component analysis (PCA) to classify the pollution sources in Langat river basin based on the analysis of water and sediment samples collected from 24 stations, monitored for 14 organic contaminants from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), sterols, and pesticides groups.enChemometricOrganic contaminantsCluster analysisDiscriminant analysisPrincipal component analysisJournal
