Environmental sampling is the process of collecting samples from various environments, such as air, water, soil, or organisms, to analyze their quality and composition. This practice helps scientists and researchers understand the presence of pollutants, nutrients, and other substances that can affect ecosystems and human health. The samples collected during environmental sampling can be tested for a range of factors, including chemical contaminants, microbial life, and heavy metals. By studying these samples, researchers can assess environmental conditions, track changes over time, and inform policy decisions aimed at protecting the environment and public health.
