| Popis: |
Since 1980 soil pollution has been a major environmental issue in the Netherlands. A rapidly increasing number of suspected sites were discovered and today it is expected that up to a hundred thousand (industrial) sites will have to be investigated and a substantial amount of these sites will have to be cleaned up in the future within the frames of the Soil Clean Up (Interim) Act and the Soil Clean Up Guideline. Besides, investigations into possibly present soil pollution at locations where the building of houses is planned, are compulsory for certain categories since 1987. Many soil investigations have been carried out since 1980 and a much larger number will be carried out in the near future. Standardization of soil investigations is important to improve the quality of scientific information needed for effective decision making. Standardization has been a major issue for the Standards Committee “Soil quality” of the Netherlands Normalization Institute (NNI) since 1985. A number of (draft) standards for soil investigations, mainly with respect to the chemical, physical and biological examination of soil samples in laboratories, has been published since then. In 1989 a draft guideline on investigation strategies for exploratory soil surveys has been published for public comment. The strategy described comprises both the sampling (field work) as well as the analytical strategy (laboratory work). In this paper the principles of the draft guideline will be presented. |
