In the present study, three probes i.e. energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) have been used simultaneously to overcome the problems mentioned above. The EDXRF technique,in combination with the PCA method, is helpful. Multielemental analysis, by EDXRF technique, of soil is easier than phase analysis, by XRD, due to the difficulties mentioned above. The superiority of the EDXRF technique is due to less cumbersome sample preparation. Soil samples, prepared in the form of pellets, can be analyzed directly without any chemical procedure or preconcentration method. The method provides reliable results for both major and trace elements, of ZZ13, up to ppm level concentration. Earlier, researchers have used EDXRF with PCA for many different purposes
