Soil type determines pollution susceptibility levels, impacting environmental health.
Soil type affects how magnetic measurements are interpreted. Different soil types have different magnetic susceptibility values. Chernozem soil has the highest values, Cambisol is in the middle, and waterlogged soil has the lowest values. Topsoil has higher susceptibility than subsoil, mainly due to the parent material. These findings can help identify unusual soil susceptibility values that may indicate pollution.
