environmental soil sampling

Environmental soil sampling involves collecting small amounts of soil from specific locations to analyze its composition, contamination levels, or health. This process helps identify pollutants, nutrients, or other substances present in the soil, which is essential for environmental assessment, land use decisions, or contamination cleanup. Typically, samples are taken systematically across an area using specialized tools, then tested in a laboratory. The results inform stakeholders about soil quality and guide actions to protect human health, ecosystems, and future land use planning.
