\n Soil Contamination Analysis<\/span>\n <\/h1>\n

\n Routine and specialised soil analysis for contaminated site investigations,\n remediation monitoring and agricultural management.\n <\/p>\n

\n Biogroup analyses contaminated soils as a daily laboratory\n routine<\/strong> \u2014 applying EPA SW-846, ASTM, ISO and IRAM methods for the full\n spectrum of inorganic and organic contaminants. Results are compared against\n Argentine Ley 24.051 \/ Decree 831\/93 Table 9<\/strong>\n (the national soil quality guideline), EPA RSLs and international screening values\n for contaminated site classification.\n <\/p>\n
