Contamination may occur indirectly by atmospheric deposition from industry, mining or vehicle exhaust. However, direct application of sewage sludges, manures, inorganic fertilizers and industrial wastes used to improve soil fertility, can cause long-term build up of contaminants.
Epsilon 5 is ideal for the analysis of heavy metal contaminants in soils and sludges. Combining the required analytical performance with simple, inexpensive sample preparation it is a cost-effective method of analysis.
