Soil Contamination Testing
Soil contamination testing is a process used to determine the presence of harmful substances in the soil. This testing is essential for identifying pollutants, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals, which can pose risks to human health and the environment. Samples of soil are collected from various locations and analyzed in a laboratory to assess contamination levels.
The results of soil contamination testing help inform decisions about land use, agricultural practices, and environmental remediation. If contamination is detected, environmental engineers and remediation specialists can develop strategies to clean up the soil and restore its safety for future use.
