Soil Pollutant Testing
Soil pollutant testing is a critical component in ensuring environmental and public health compliance. This service focuses on identifying the presence, concentration, and types of pollutants within soil samples to assess potential risks. For quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement professionals, this test provides essential data for risk assessment, remediation planning, and regulatory compliance.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to international standards such as ISO 17025, which ensures the reliability and accuracy of our testing methods. We employ state-of-the-art instrumentation like inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for heavy metals analysis and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
The process begins with the collection of soil samples from specified locations, followed by thorough preparation. This includes sieving to ensure consistent particle size, digestion using appropriate acids, and extraction techniques tailored to specific pollutants. The prepared samples are then analyzed using specialized equipment designed for detecting trace amounts of contaminants.
Our testing capabilities cover a wide range of pollutants including heavy metals (e.g., lead, mercury), pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Each test is conducted in accordance with relevant standards such as EPA Method 3052 for total petroleum hydrocarbon analysis. Results are reported comprehensively, detailing the detected pollutants along with their concentrations.
Understanding the environmental impact of pollutants helps in developing effective mitigation strategies. Our laboratory collaborates closely with clients to interpret results and provide actionable recommendations. This service is particularly important for industries involved in construction, agriculture, and manufacturing where soil contamination can pose significant risks.
