Soil is the basis for human survival. However, the quality and safety issues of agricultural products caused by soil pollution have increased year by year, which has affected the public's health. Soil testing can be used to understand soil environmental quality and pollution. Gardening professionals can use soil testing to understand soil fertility and choose the right fertilizers and other additives needed to grow plants healthily.
Soils can be tested by Alfa Chemistry include:
Farmland soil
Vegetable field soil
Tea garden soil
Orchard soil
Petroleum soil
Pasture soil
Woodland soil
Submarine sediment
Sludge
Agricultural soill, etc.
| Residue analysis | Pesticide, herbicide, etc. |
| Routine indicator testing | Moisture, pH, alkalinity, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, total potassium, etc. |
| Microbial indicator testing | Mold, coliform, total number of colonies, photosynthetic bacteria, etc. |
| Nutrient testing | Total phosphorus, total sulfur, ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, etc. |
| Solids, sludge | Solids, sludge, non-aqueous wastes |
| Hazardous industrial waste | Corrosivity, asbestos, ignitability (flash point), reactivity, toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) |
| VOC analysis | Alkanes, aromatics, alkenes, halocarbons, esters, aldehydes, ketone, benzenes, freons, petroleum hydrocarbon compounds, etc. |
| Heavy metal analysis | Hg, Cd, Pb, Cr, As, etc. |
| Radioactive element testing | 226Ra, 232Th, 40K, 14C, 238U and 235U, 137Cs and 134Cs, 90Sr, 106Ru, 240Pu, etc. |
| Soil quality assessment | Physical indicators, chemical indicators, biological indicators |
| Haney test | Soil respiration capacity, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) content, etc. |
| Other | General elemental testing |
