Soil Vapours (inc. Landfill Gases)
Soil Vapour monitoring is a specialised process of determining the levels of contaminants within the headspace of soils. It is often used in preliminary investigations for site contamination works in conjunction with groundwater & soil monitoring. We can sample from pre-installed bores or can install temporary bores if required.
Our laboratories are accredited by NATA for the sampling of air and gases around landfills by Australian Standards AS2986.1 & .2 and for analysis according to USEPA 8260 methodology. We also have the capability to sample soil vapour via Thermal Desorption Tubes & Summa Canisters with the preparation and analysis of the certified clean Thermal Desorption Tubes & Summa Canisters undertaken by a NATA accredited (or NATA equivalent) laboratory.
Typical clients are:
• Environmental Consultants
• Municipal Councils
• Landfill Operations
• Industrial Facilities
The network of Eurofins | Environment Testing laboratories also sample Landfill Gases at a number of current and former landfills and Industrial facilities. This includes sampling In-Situ field measurements with a portable Landfill Gas Analyser and tedlar bag confirmation samples for methane. Our laboratories are NATA accredited for the sampling & analysis of methane and other C1-C4 hydrocarbons.
We routinely undertake work in Victoria (metro & Country), Tasmania, NSW & SA. All air sampling equipment is owned, maintained and calibrated by the network of Eurofins | Environment Testing companies.
