Contaminated Land CONTEST
“Real-world soil and leachate samples for a variety of analytes” Land contamination – from sources including industrial waste, oil and fuel dumping, domestic pollution, pesticides, landfills, and leaking storage tanks – poses serious environmental and human health risks. To assist organisations working to combat this threat, the LGC AXIO CONTEST Proficiency Testing Scheme offers participating laboratories a wide range of real-world soil and leachate samples, covering a variety of metal and organometallic, organic and inorganic analytes. Participating in CONTEST also ensures that laboratories meet the requirements of the UK Environment Agency’s MCERTS performance standard for chemical testing of soil.
