Abstract

This study investigates topsoil contamination in Ireland using geochemical data from the Tellus Programme, analyzing 4,278 soil samples across 17,983 square kilometer. The research employs CPF clustering with spatial constraints to classify samples into seven different groups, revealing distinct contamination patterns.
