* Indicates a significant difference (p<0.05) between concentrations on the surface and in the interior. ** Indicates a highly significant difference (p<0.01) between concentrations on the surface and in the interior. Concentration levels of the main elements are the percentage of total elements detected by weight. Each value is expressed as the mean±SD from three repeated samples (n=3).
