Environmental
Soil Testing Program
The tests described below are
designed to assist municipalities, farmers, environmental agencies, and others
in developing environmentally sound soil management programs. These tests for
major and trace elements assist in monitoring soils that have been amended with
biosolids or other materials. To obtain the tests, purchase a
standard soil test kit for
soil fertility analysis from the
county
offices of Penn State Cooperative Extension. Indicate on the soil
test kit information sheet the desired analyses (listed below). Please send a
check or money order with your sample to cover the cost of the environmental
soil test(s) requested, or provide billing information. Make checks payable to
The Pennsylvania State University.
