Sampling in the Environmental Industry
Sampling activities in the environmental industry are essential to the health and safety of the population. These activities require reliable analytical tools for monitoring the contamination of air, water and soil with pollutants, toxic substances and hazardous materials, as well as for the remediation of contaminated buildings, mining sites or groundwater.
Contaminated land testing
Soil testing is needed to determine whether a site is contaminated with pollutants, hydrocarbons, or hazardous materials that may pose a real danger to ecosystems. Frequent testing must be done to determine what actions to take to avoid any contamination.
Groundwater quality control
Such testing may be required to ensure that a company’s activities do not result in contamination of surrounding waters, such as the release of hazardous materials.
Analysis of the soil microbiome
The soil microbiome plays a major role in maintaining soil and contributes to the structuring of soils. Microbiome analysis helps identify and quantify biological indicators. These indicators, combined with physical and chemical indicators, can be used by predictive models to define indices of soil productivity, disease risk and carbon sequestration efficiency.
Applications
Reliable and safe sampling tools are essential in order to carry out the various tests and analyses required within this industry.
-
Detection of fuel oil in the soil
Accidental spills of fuel oil may occur, for example, during filling of heating oil tanks. In this case, soil analysis in an apparently affected area will determine the level and extent of the contaminant in order to take the necessary measures to ensure proper disposal.
-
Sampling of fertilizing residuals (FR)
FRs are derived from industrial or municipal residues and are subject to a very strict sampling protocol. Sterile analytical tools are required to analyze the microbiological parameters of these samples.
-
Mold testing
Many contaminants in the air can have adverse effects on human, animal and plant health. It is therefore essential to implement strategies for sampling contaminants from natural or anthropogenic sources in air and on various materials and surfaces to identify the element(s) at risk and their levels of toxicity.
