Soil samples are among the many important materials that Global Asbestos Audits Scientific Services specialises in analysing. They are tested for various parameters such as toxic metal concentration, dry matter, pH and nutrients.
Global Asbestos Audits Scientific Services offers a complete service for the sampling and analysis of Dust, Soils, Sludges, Solid Wastes and Contaminated Land covering Organic, Inorganic and Biological compounds.
Global Asbestos Audits Scientific Services has experience in the assessment of contaminated land for the re-development purposes. As the nature of sites may vary from small industrial works, the objective of Global Asbestos Audit Scientific Services’ surveys is to establish the nature and extent of contamination both below and on the surface of the site. Recommendations to reduce any associated risks are provided once all determinations are complete. All potential contaminants are considered in relation to the proposed plans for site development, as they may pose a hazard to humans and animals through ingestion and/or inhalation, or corrosion and degradation of a building structure through chemical attack.
