Soil analyzer for heavy metals

Soil is an element of the biosphere that ensures the circulation of chemical substances in the environment-human system. Soil is a place of collection and storage of a large number of substances that enter the environment as a result of human technogenic activity and emissions from natural sources. It is not characterized by the property of immobility that other natural environments have, and therefore is most susceptible to pollution. Moreover, many compounds, getting into the soil, as a result of chemical and microbiological reactions can become more toxic than the original ones. Due to soil pollution, water, air, food products and other elements of the biosphere can be contaminated with carcinogenic and radioactive substances. As a result, it is necessary to regularly monitor the soil.

Sources of soil pollution:

• industrial and household waste landfills;
• unauthorized dumping of industrial and household waste;
• chemical plant protection products and mineral fertilizers.

Monitoring the condition of the soil is necessary for continuous observation of its chemical pollution and condition; ensures the collection, transmission and processing of the received information for the purpose of timely detection of negative processes, forecasting their development, preventing harmful consequences and determining the degree of effectiveness of the implemented environmental protection measures.

Types of soil analysis

• mechanical (granulometric) - quantitative determination of the content of particles of different diameters in the soil;
• chemical analysis allows us to determine the total content of C, N, Si, Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, P, S, K, Na, Mn, Ti and other elements in the soil;
• mineralogical - determines the content of primary and secondary minerals in the soil in order to study its genesis and physical and chemical properties;
• microbiological - establishes the composition of soil microflora to characterize its biochemical properties and biological activity.
