Contaminated Land Measurements

Contaminated soil is a problem for ground waters as well as for residential areas constructed on former industrial areas or brownfield sites. Chlorinated VOC’s in particular present significant heath problems when evaporating from contaminated land into buildings.Potentially contaminated areas can be screened by drilling wells into the ground and measuring evaporating gases from these wells. Typical contaminated soil gas components include: 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, Trichloroethylene, Tetrachloroethylene, Chloroform, Benzene, Toluene, p-Xylene, 1,1-Dichloroethylene, cis-Dichloroethylene, Perchloroethylene, Dichloromethane.

For the infrared determination of total oil and grease (TOG) or total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration levels in water or soil using an external solvent-based extraction procedure. Five models are available, depending on the solvent being used for the extraction process and required measurement range. No matter what solvent you use for your extraction process, there is an Infracal TOG/TPH Analyzer to handle the analysis accurately and reliably.
