To investigate the suitability of the kriging interpolation technique in the mapping of local soil pollution, we have conducted a pilot study based on data concerning the pollution of the premises of the former gas works in the municipality of Amersfoort (province of Utrecht). Of the types of pollutants found there, cyanide and PAH were singled out for special attention.
