  1. Soil Water Contamination

  2. There are unacceptable risks to human health and the environment from historic land contamination which were addressed in the UK through the Environmental Protection Act 1990.br The Environment Agency (EA) and DEFRA provides further information on the legal framework and issues related to bringing contaminated land back into safe use. • At ELAB we can help provide data on both toxicity in soil and its effect on the environment. Our data reporting meets the needs of specialists including Site Investigators, Remediation Specialists, Geotechnical and Geo-environmental experts and Engineering Consultants. Contaminated Land, Water and Leachates Analysis

  3. Our range of testing services include: •  Aluminium • Arsenic • Barium • Beryllium • Boron (Water Soluble) • Cadmium • Calcium • Chromium • Chromium (Hexavalent) • Cobalt • Copper • Iron Metals Analysis: - We use ICP-MS for metals analysis, and can offer analysis of a large number of metals down to very low detection levels. •  Lead • Magnesium • Magnesium (available) • Magnesium(Water Soluble) • Manganese • Mercury • Molybdenum • Nickel • Phosphorus (available) • Phosphorus • Potassium (available) • Selenium • Sodium • Vanadium • Zinc • Antimony • Gold • Lithium • Silver • Strontium • Thallium • Tin

  4. Analysis of Organic Compounds • These are analysed using GC-MS or GC-FID. Regularly analysed are PAH's, PCB's, SVOC's, Volatile Compounds (by gcms headspace analysis), Organochlorine and Organ nitrogen pesticides . Again detection levels are very low. We have occasionally analysed for explosives. •  Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene and Xylene (BTEX) •  Pesticides & Herbicides • Polyromantic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) •  Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) •  Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) •  Semi-volatile Organic Compounds (SVOC) •  Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH including CWG)

  5. Other Analytes • Anions •  Cyanides •  Electrical Conductivity •  pH Values •  Sulphur Compounds •  Total Organic Carbon (TOC) • Our instrumentation is such that we can analyze for many hundreds of organic compounds. We are also able to undertake general scans to identify any unknowns present. This is done by searching through the NIST Library of about 180,000 compounds which are then reported by name and CAS number together with an approximation of the amount present. HPLC instrumentation is used for analysis of phenols, elemental Sulphur and various herbicides.
