Groundwater contamination studies are becoming more important particularly concerning their ability to identify specific sources of the contamination. In most cases, groundwater contamination studies are based upon general physical and/or chemical characterization of subsurface waters and provide information only as to whether a specific sample from a particular aquifer is being contaminated or not. A technique utilizing instrumental neutron activation analysis together with principal componene factor analysis and chemical mass balances has been shown to be a useful tool in helping to differentiate among several possible sources for groundwater contamination. In addition, this technique has been utilized to apportion relative contributions from each source of contamination.
