nant geological formations (Stafilov and Šajn 2016, 2019). From the list of the elements, it could be expected that some of the elements associated in Factor 2 have
higher content in the area close to REK Bitola and in the area between REK Bitola
and the city of Bitola. It is visible from the maps of spatial distribution of all elements included in Factor 1 which are presented in Fig. 3.8. This particularly applies
to the spatial distribution of Zn, Cu and Mo (Fig. 3.8) which are present in higher
content in fly ash than in the surrounding soil.
Factor 3 (K, P, Na, Mg and Ca) The spatial distribution map of the factor scores
of factor F3 (Fig. 3.9) shows that these elements are present in higher contents in the
northern-central part of the study area where Quaternary and Pliocene sediments are
dominant geological formations (Fig. 3.9). From the list of the elements, it could be
expected that some of the elements associated in Factor 3 have higher content in the
area close to REK Bitola and in the area between REK Bitola and the city of Bitola.
It is visible from the maps of spatial distribution of all elements included in Factor
1 which are presented in Fig. 3.10. This particularly applies to the spatial distribution of copper (Fig. 3.10) which is present in higher content in fly ash than in the
surrounding soil.
