Soil Toxicity Testing Service

Contaminated soils have come under increased focus for regulators; soils contain a record of the environmental history of an area and can pose a primary environmental risk. Soil toxicity tests are used to provide an accurate and reliable evaluation of the combined toxicity of chemical substances that are bioavailable in the soil. Our toxicology staff is familiar with USEPA and WDOE protocols required for soil testing. Acute toxicity is evaluated through short-term survival assays, while chronic effects are monitored through long-term survival, reproduction, or seed germination assays.
