Statement

Each soil sample comprised a composite collected by hand-auger from the corners and centre of a 1 x 1 m square. Samples were freeze-dried, sieved to 2 mm and analysed to determine soil pH (by CaCl2 slurry method), the CrVI content (by speciated isotope dilution mass spectrometry), the carbon content (by carbon analyser), the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) content (by Iatroscan) and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) content (by gas chromatography mass spectrometry) at the BGS laboratories. The total concentrations of 54 inorganic chemical parameters were determined by x-ray fluorescence spectrometry by Panalytical Ltd. A sub-set of 10 soil samples was screened for the presence of asbestos prior to sample preparation and analysis by hand picking and polarising light microscopy at i2 Analytical Ltd. In addition, the BGS recorded observations about the soil samples during sample collection. Laboratory data underwent quality assurance prior to reporting. Where possible, analytical methods were UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) accredited. The BGS undertook further quality control checking and data conditioning to create the combined laboratory and field observation dataset for release.
