Some projects require the creation of elutriates, leachate or eluates, and the subsequent analysis of these laboratory created matrices, to evaluate the potential release or the mobility of analytes from various solid materials. These materials can include sediment, soil, stabilized material and waste material. Column settling tests can be used to define the settling behavior of particular sediments associated with the potential placement of dredged material.
Using our extensive experience, Eurofins Environment Testing assists project teams in reviewing and evaluating the appropriate tests to achieve their specific project objectives. Services offered include; technical support for selecting the appropriate elutriate test to evaluate the placement of dredged material; selection of the most appropriate leaching test for a specific program; or the review and discussion of the new U.S. EPA LEAF methods for projects.
