Soil inorganic pollutants come mainly from industrial effluents
and solid wastes that enter the soil. Nitrates, sulfate chlorides,
and soluble carbonates are common and abundant inorganic
pollutants. These inorganic pollutants can cause soil slumping,
change soil structure, lead to soil salinization and affect water
quality, among other hazards.
Soil Inorganic Pollutants Testing
For heavy metal detection in soil, Lifeasible is currently using
AAS (atomic absorption spectrometry), AFS (atomic fluorescence
spectroscopy), ICP-QMS (inductively coupled plasma quadrupole mass
spectrometry), ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass
spectrometry), HR-ICP-MS (high resolution inductively coupled
plasma mass spectrometry), ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma
optical emission spectrometry), XRF (X-ray fluorescence), Terahertz
spectroscopy and other technical methods for morphological analysis
and content detection of elements, including sulfur dioxide,
nitrogen dioxide, ammonia nitrogen, nitrogen oxides, ozone,
fluoride, cyanide, ammonia, hydrogen chloride, sulfate, alkyl
mercury, metal elements
and pH, moisture, water content, dry matter, conductivity, cation
exchange, total phosphorus, organic carbon, total salinity, organic
matter, exchange acidity, etc.
